I looking for a Circle Chart Generator that I can print out from RM4 Gedcom. I want a Circle Wall Chart to look at while doing research. I am not looking for anything fancy as this chart will be constantly updated. Any Ideas?

In the Customnize sentence window (or in the Lists, Fact Type List and select the Fact Type, then Edit), you can change [date] to [date:DayOfWeek] or [date:DayOfWeek:Commas] to include the day of the week with the date. It will appear as "Thursday January 1 1990" or "Thursday, January 1, 1990" respectively. The order of the day and month will depend on the date setting in the Tools, File options, Date Format.

Just a comment concerning dates----I have noticed if I have a birth date entered, say "January 1, 1900", then I enter a death date of say "Thursday, January 1, 1990", RM may totally disreguard the death field for certain reports. I just saw that this week. But once I took out the day of the week, RM saw the fact. I would like to record the day of the week, but I will have to figure out some other way to note it, rather than in the date field.

Brenda, what is the exact birth date and census date as entered? If RM can't figure out the date (year) then it can't calculate an age.

Thanks Bill, I understand that too.. but this is a census - age 51 then a death and it shows no age. It cam be dealt with as is, I was just curious as I have 2 that I am aware of. I did dl 3.26 or ? as you suggested to and it did give me the help file. ;0

Brenda, any facts after the date of the death fact, such as burial, obituary, or probating a will, will not show ages.

Actually dates are there. Ages show until the last 2 entries. I have seen a couple like this but not able to change them = sometimes if I just rewrite it things will change but not this time. Thanks have a great weekend~

If there is no birth date, you will not see the ages. RM uses the birth date as the base to calculate ages. Also, RM needs the date in the Date field, it will not calculate a date based on Sort dates.
