Thanks to Sandy for making notes on a few things that have come up in the checks recently.
- Town of anything--No need to put "town" in either before or after. Same goes for city of...
- Town
following the name--You don't have to put it in unless you think it's
part of the name of the town. It's never wrong to input it if it's
there.
- District No.-- You don't need to put in
NO, but it's not wrong if you do. Checkers may say it once to inputter, but the inputter doesn't need to go back and fix it. Just remember
going forward that it saves time by not typing in NO. Do not ever
include the symbol # for number.
- Marking death records --Mark all
the death records you found and attached to the tree. Include data
from all of them onto your grid. Only include the links from the two
best sources.
- Grid names -- It doesn't matter how the
name appears on the grid. It's just an administrative tool to help the
inputter. You can make the prime name whatever is best to help identify
that person. (If you have 5 Ann Banks on your grid, spouse of vet,
child of vet, spouses of vet's sons, then by all means pick the name
that is easiest to identify them.) However, the females on the trees should always be listed with their maiden names.
- WWI
Draft Cards -- If the draft card has an exact birth date matching your
child to the mil info AND an exact address matching to a census year,
then that census year is a QC1 even if the spouse's name is not on the
draft card.
