Family Search and death certificates

Some of you who work for us who do not have LDS accounts on Family Search may occasionally get a message that says you need to log in as a member of the Church or access the site via a family history center in order to see the image of a death certificate.  We have noticed this come up in particular for Washington, DC death certificates.  If you get this message, please email Sandy and she will open the record on her account and send you a screen shot of the image so that you can add the death cause to the obit screen.

Missing children

As you've all been working on assigning 2nd parents to the soldiers' children, a few of you have needed to request the family tree. The primary reason for this is that the original inputter forgot to search for one (or more) of the children. That is, there was a child on the Mil Info that was never entered on the Grid.

This is just a reminder to double check that you've added all children from the Mil Info to the Grid before you hit complete.
