Not on my tree!!!! It's insisting I enter County and Town. The vast majority of my rellies have had their years of birth removed.....as soon as someone in their descendants has no year of birth, GR randomly removes the dates from various people up the tree (I know this because of the error message it's giving me). My tree has about 2500 people and I guess several hundred of them now have no date. Well, that won't take long for me to remedy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Merry

Merry <sending you a large drink> the places thing sometimes workes on mine but mostly not lol if i dont know the name of the village i just put the county in DURHAM that seems to work. Steve

Humph......can't even put my own name on. CROSS! Merry

now you know why the Hot Matches don't work LOL As for place of birth, I type whatever I want into the first box. As long as you also put in a country, you can leave the county & town blank.

Right, so now I have uploaded a new gedcom. Looking at the tree, there are some people who do not have a year of birth showing (I don't know why not), but they do have a full date under Extra Details. If someone searches one of these names, I assume the name will pop up with no date, and be an irritation to all??? So, I would like to copy the year across. HOWEVER, then I am forced to add the place of birth details. That's OK, because I have full place of birth for these people......however, the places (towns and villages) don't appear on the drop down boxes. So what do I load?? Do I have to get my atlas out to see where the nearest large town is that GR DO list??? Then will others thing I am under the impression my ancestor was born there and not in the nearby village???? I need a DRINK. Merry (stroppy)

Sorry to go on.........(if you saw my thread earlier)....but now I need MORE help - see below in a mo. Merry x
