Odd date format

[A Ginn]

Hi,

I wonder if anyone has a suggestion about the following date issue.

An ancestor died on "15 March in an unknown year after 973." If I try to enter "15 Mar aft 973" or "15 Mar after 973" Reunion changes the entry to "aft 15 Mar 973", ignoring the certainty of the day and month. If I enter "15 Mar year after 973" Reunion changes it to "Mar 977" (???). I am able to use "15 Mar unk year after 973", because that syntax is not understood and triggers the custom date dialog.

Is there a simpler or more conventional solution?

Regards,
Alan

Try entering the date like this...

aft 973 on 15 Mar
