In my tree I have Annie Joan Keir Morris, her birth is 2 September 1913 born In Townsville QLD & she died 14 May 2010, when I look at her name it has her birth as September 1902 this is incorrect how do I change it to the correct dates. Annie's Father is Alexander Morris b June 1879& her mother Is Annie Keir b Aug 1879 my Paternal Grand parents.

Thanks in advance Margaret Blyth

    Hello @MargaretBlyth

    Thank you for posting your question here in the community. We took a look at Annie's person page and noticed that the birth date needs to be standardized. You can standardize the date by clicking on the blue edit button by the date. 'type in the date 2 September 1813, if it is already there you can just click in the box with the birth date. After clicking in the box just hit the space bar and you should see a drop down window that has the correct birth date with a calendar to the left of the date. Click on that date with the calendar next to it. That will standardize the date. When you have the date standardized it should look like the death date with the calendar to the left of the date as in the picture below.
