South African Cemetery records

I just started a batch of Cemetery records and the date period is from 1840-2019.

The dates on the record only show day, month and 96 as the year. I don't know whether it is from 1896 or 1996. I was thinking 1996 but not sure. I looked back and forward on the previous records but they all have just 96.

Thank you,

Shirley McLendon

    From the Field Help (purple question mark above every field):

    If you cannot determine the 4-digit year, index the 2-digit number. If you cannot determine the 2-digit or 4-digit year, press Ctrl+B to mark this field blank.
