Clarification on soldier's dead children

If you have evidence that the soldier had a child, make sure that child is entered on the Grid. If the 1910 census says the mom had six kids and four are alive, you don't automatically have to assume that the soldier had two more children that you didn't know about. But if your searching turns up evidence of children, even though you never find them in the census, please add them to the Grid. If the Mil Info says the soldier has a dead child, and you never find any children in the census, you still need to add that child to the Grid. This is the same as our rule for stillborn children.

Our goal is to account for all the soldier's children.
