[Babase] Age estimate for Tiago? No assessment done

Hi all (mostly Jeanne and Susan),

I have a question about calculating the age of an immigrant male if no 
assessment was done by the team and the male has since left our study 
groups.  Specifically, this is an issue for Tiago's records.

Tiago was first observed in Linda's group on 1 July 2005 and was present 
all group census days through 20 August 2005.  He was marked absent from 
Linda's group for the remaining August census days.

I realized we did not have an age estimate for him at Princeton while I 
was working through the demography update.  I checked with Leah and the 
original was not at Duke.  I asked the team and they said didn't have an 
age estimate for him at camp.  They also mentioned that if we didn't 
have it here, maybe it wasn't done.

Any suggestions for how to handle?  Should I simple ask the team to give 
me their best age estimate based on what they remember?

Also worth noting that nothing in the demography notes for Linda's in 
July or August suggests a likely age (simply describes Tiago as being a 
hybrid and shy).

Thanks,
Catherine
