Re: [Gramps-users] Multiple Birth events?

[Carey P. <ca...@pa...>]

Thinking about this raises questions about GRAMPS behaviour. If I don't
enter a birth event from a source but enter an age, does Gramps infer a
birth automatically? The census Gramplet too?

I would be tempted to not create a birth event for anything other than the
official date I trust if they were not automatically deduced from ages at
dates, and just put the contents of the source into the source as a
transcription or note for reference.

However, in the case where the birth is not known with confidence I do put
every found or deduced date in and look at the pattern when trying to
determine a real or useful birth date.
