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

>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.
