Age also in weeks

Post by SabineS » 21 Jun 2006 18:37

Hi,

I would like to have some additional minor detail, some time in the future: the age (e.g. at death) can be given in years, months, and days. But the sources often use weeks, too. So far I've always been converting the weeks to months and days, but I would like to remain nearer to the source original.

I think the issue here is that the GEDCOM standard doesn't have Weeks as a unit of time.

Regards

Oh, I did not know that. In that case, this would rather be an item for the Gedcom wish list, if there is any ...

Thanks!

Well yes I guess so, the GEDCOM standard is something that the Church of the Latter Day Saints control. Family Historian does add its own extensions to the GEDCOM standard but needs to remain GEDCOM compliant.
