Here are some answers to a few questions we've had lately.
The Social Security Death Index gives an address (street, city, state) for last residence but no death place. DO NOT assume that the last residence is the place of death.
"If you have just the year from the Find A Grave record and you see the specific month and day on a public family tree (and the matching year), should you include it, and if you do, what should the quality code be?" Stick to the manual which says, "A family tree is the last resort, to be used only when you have been unable to find any other death information." In other words, don't take anything from the family tree unless that's all you have.
You DO NOT have to type the word "cemetery" for the name of the cemetery. It is unnecessary. You are never wrong to type what you see. If another word or phrase is given besides cemetery, such as "memorial park," then you must type that.
