A few more odds and ends

Here are a few more things we've noticed recently.

  • Please don't write nonsensical occupations or death causes. You may always ask for help reading this information, and we encourage you to do so.
  • Enter the death causes from the Mil Info into the Death screen.
  • Don't forget to enter the place of death on the Death screen.
  • Sometimes a 7 is written over the M for marital status on the census manuscript. This was something that was written later for all those people over a certain age that claimed they were married but were not living with a spouse.  We have decided we do not want to take this 7 as data.  We will accept the originally recorded "M" for marital status.
Does anybody have any questions?
