Back in July I made a correction to my great-uncle's date of birth. His ID is: L61M-6HD. His correct date of birth is 25 Dec 1919, not 25 Dec 1915, but that incorrect date still shows below his name. Please help me get this to display correctly in all places. Thank you.

    Hello@CrossJudy,

    Here is how to standardize a date so it will display correctly under the name:

    • Go to the Person Page for Vincent Emmanuel Schikora and click on Edit to the right of Birth in the Vitals box.
    • Click in the date of birth field near the top and then the space bar.
    • In the dropdown list, click on the date that comes after the calendar icon.
    • Click Save at the bottom.

    Refresh your screen and see if that takes care of the issue.

    You can these instructions in the Help Center (small question mark at the upper right of your screen). Click on Help Center at the bottom of the pop-up and type "standardizing dates" in the search bar.

    Best Wishes!

    Hi Judy


    On the Edit beside the birth, make sure the standardized date is also showing 1919.
