Can not insert dates before Christ? (e.g. 20AD)

This will probably not happen very much but is it possible to insert dates before the year 0?

As FTB do not provide the facility, you could enter the date as 'free text' e.g. 430BC

Problem with entering a person born 15BC and dead 26AD to 28AD - tried to use the hebraic calendar, but got an error stating that it was to early.

Not many have yet found ancestors back in that age, but it happens - and for our family we have tried to use the free text, but the software reads it and complains about the death is wrong.

Hello Knut,

Thanks for contacting us.

Currently we do not have a feature that will calculate information once you have added a date that is B.C.

We have received many requests for this and we plan on making this available in future program releases.

Thanks for your feedback.

Kind Regards

Rafael
