Anbody out there familiar with Famiy Tree Maker? I sometimes get stuck with a date that combines 2 years - like 1742/43. I keep trying to make it 1742, and it keeps coming back as 1742/43. Any help here? Tom

Hi, You can change the cutoff year for double dates by going to File, then Preferences, then Dates & Measures, then Double Dates, and finally Cutoff year. However, I strongly recommend you read the write up on double dates under the Help tab (look up double dates). The reason for the double date is due to a switch from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar-- and the timing of when different cultures made this switch. I was going to cut and paste the information but am unsure of the copyright laws around that even if I cite the source.
