Member Since: January 2006 Posts: 432 Send Message	I was challenged a week or two ago by one of those earnest 'unless I've seen PROOF I won't believe it' types about the use of 'Dead' in place of a death date in my tree. I replied that as the birth was 1812, I really had no doubt at all, and deleted the contact!

	I find they disappear of their own accord when you try to pin them down. J
