	1/31/13 I received this reply from Tim at Support: The Wym, while it may appear that they simply moved to a different location, this is a deportation date, so we ask that you key this in as the deportation date. The Beruf column is for profession, which while Kind, or child isn't really a profession, if that is what it has in this column, please key that in.

	As for the second question, there has been no answer from WAP about this (as far as I know) so we have to carry on keying the "wym" date as deportation date until we hear otherwise. I suppose they could always change the name of the field to "event date" when the database goes live if it turns out these are not deportation dates.
