I am indexing Dominican republic records, many of which have a full death date and a birth year. If I give an age it could be slightly off but would give a researcher an idea of the age of the person. What is the proper thing to do?

    Unless Project Instructoons say otherwise, we don’t do calculations of ages from dates nor dates from ages. Let the Researchers do those calculations.
