How do I get the actual 'age' of a node to appear in my results?

I have been running an tmrca analysis, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the actual node age to appear in the results. I have several lineages that I would like to estimate the divergence date, and in my results, I get tmrca with root height, but not the actual date, even though I am providing real collection dates for each tip. I have even re-run the xml of the file that previously gave me actual dates, and the re-run does not provide this information.
Any suggestions, or do you need additional information to answer my question? 
Thanks-
Catherine

If we talk about BEAST 1, you can just import clades of interest as taxon sets in BEAUTi, they will appear in a log after this.

That is what I have been doing, but all I get is a  value that looks like this: tmrca(1)  mean=7.097e-4 ESS 831, as opposed to an actual fractional year date, like 2009.365. The (1) represents just one of the lineages I am invesitigating, there are 6 more in this data set, each producing an value that looks like the first one I showed. I have seen outputs in the past where, in addition to this value, there is a tracer entry that says age(1) and gives a fractional year value.

It is strange because BEAUTi of BEAST 1 has to add appropriate age idrefs into xml. Could you provide a link to your model with the results?
