Date

Description

The Date object is used to hold a Family Historian date. A Family Historian date can be a simple date, a period, a range or a date phrase (which may or not have an interpretation).  Quarter dates are implemented internally as a special case of a date range (for example, Q1 1987 is equivalent to the date range: between January and March 1987).

Depending on it's type, a Date object can contain up to two Date Point objects. Simple dates have a single date point, ranges and period have one or two, and pure date phrases have none.
