Simon, I assume you imported your tree to this site? All I can suggest is that you edit the original GEDCOM and try reloading it. Crista

Crista you done it, thanks. I just checked again and it was wrong in the full DOB entry. And this is so much quicker than contacting GR. I can now go to bed! Simon

Simon, Any year entered in the 'Date of Birth' field will override any year entered in the 'Year of Birth' field. Make sure you change that too. Crista

Simon, I have just edited some of my details and it seems to be working ok. I went through the Build Your Tree section, found the person i wanted and clicked on the Edit button at the top of the page.( dont forget to click on Save Changes - its right down the bottom of the page ) Elaine x.

I didn't think GR would accept 2 digit numbers. nell

I've accidently entered some 20C birth years as only two digits ie without the 19. For some reason I can't change them to 4 digit numbers is this a common problem? Simon
