Catherine, the procedure you describe below looks right to me.

>I would create a new row in Biograph for the abortion (same

>statdate = birthdate, name field left blank, etc.).  SIS had 
>pregnancies both before and after this abortion - this abortion will 
>be inserted between SIS6 and SIS7. Before SIS died in 1990, she had 
>a total of 8 pregnancies (not including this one).  PID = SIS9 is 
>the next pid in series.  I would assign that PID to this birth, but 
>reorder the parity numbers such that the parity for SIS6 is 6, SIS9 
>is 7, SIS7 is 8, and SIS8 is 9.  I think this is consistent with the 
>protocols that Daphne explained last fall (never change a PID but is 
>ok to change the parity).  These PID changes would be made in both 
>the Biograph and the Pregs tables.  Finally, I would also add a row 
>to the Pregs table for PID = SIS9 with the conceive and resume 
>cycles entered in.
