Why not enter a Date (or at least a Sort Date) that is closer to what the
actual date of the event would be? This allows you to see in reports as
well as on screen the chronological pattern of the person's life. It
increases the viewer/reader's understanding of where the person did or
lived in life making it easier to decide where research might be done.
