List or mend various Date Phrases and unusual Date fields imported from other products.

Caters for Ancestry, FTM, PAF, Pedigree, PediTree, RootsMagic, et al.

The mended Date fields conform to Family Historian and GEDCOM specified formats.

The Pedigree quarter dates use a standard date format of (approx.)/circa Month Year but only for Feb, May, Aug & Nov.
So the plugin checks for similar format dates in the other eight months and if found inhibits the Pedigree date fixes.

For further support please post in the Family Historian User Group forums or Family Historian at Groups.io email where the plugin author will answer your questions which can be supplemented with screenshots if necessary.
