I believe that each transaction line in the reconciled register gets a
Reconciled Date associated to the "y" symbol in the R column, but this
date is not shown in the register view.  For Mr Nelson to solve his
problem, he might need to know which month a particular transaction was
reconciled in to help him sort out which transaction is which.

Even bank statements sometimes are little or no help when multiple
payees are paid the same amount.

One trick that helps me is to add one or more dates in the memo line to
help distinguish similar transactions by due date, date paid(when there
is 'float' time), or billed date.
