Hello all,

Jeanne would like to get the male dispersed dates updated as soon as
possible for Patrick Ogola's work.  Shannon Lyons sent me in Aug 03 an
updated list of male maturation data as of Jun 02, which is entered in
Biograph.  On Mar 8 03, Karen sent another spreadsheet of updates as of
Dec 02 (to the Babase group), but I am not sure if this includes
dispersed dates.  The subject of her message was "Updates for Ranks and
Consorts", but it says she updated the "natal male maturation data".  So
I don't know if it applies only to ranked and consorted dates, or to
dispersed dates as well.  I think it is the former - there are no
dispersed dates in her spreadsheet from the second half of 02, and a
quick (not exhaustive) glance through the census sheets reveals there
should be a couple (see FUZ and VEI).  So, can you (Steph, I guess this
means you) do two things for us:

1) Confirm that Karen's spreadsheet does NOT include dispersed dates
from the second half of 02, and assuming this is the case, please find
any dispersed dates from that period.

2) Since the demography update is done for the first half of 03, could
you find any that occurred during that period as well?  I assume you can
download the updated tables, if you don't already have them.  If that's
not the case, let me know.

I am currently working on the demography update for the second half of
03 - will let you know when that's done so we can get any dispersed
dates from that period as well.

Let me know if any of that doesn't make sense.  Thanks,
Daphne
