I'm not sure, perhaps it's to do with Gedcom? I do know that for earlier dates people have baptism dates - which do not come up if you upload your tree. Hence a big, blank space.

Hi all, yes I mean on GC, when I search for names that match those in my tree, thing I don't understand is, when I put my tree on here I could not get away with no details I had to enter something even if it was made up so how can others manage to do it? anyone know? Gen

If you mean on GC, this is because people don't know and haven't put it in. Most of them won't be alive. All my living people are listed as 'Living'

Does anyone know if the names that have no year or place of birth available are people who are living because for nearly every person on one particular branch of my tree there is also another and I just wondered if these people were living or not, Help! Gen
