November checking statistics

In November, we checked 48 soldiers under our system. I've reviewed all of the checks, and I've tallied the number of differences. Some of these are errors, and some are judgment calls. Here are the categories and the total number of differences for each category.

GRID Errors

• MILIN?/MAR? - 3
• Missing HH member - 4
• Duplicate people - 1
• Wrong person - 0
• Other - 8

Inferred Relationships

• Incorrect relationships - 16

Census Errors

• Name - 29
• Typo/Reading/Wrong - 98
• State Code - 0
• Missing/Wrong URL - 8
• Missing data - 21
• Additional finds - 8
• Quality Code - 18

Death Errors

• Typo/Reading/Wrong - 9
• Missing data - 37
• Missing/Wrong URL/Source - 9
• Quality Code - 1
• Additional finds - 15

Tree Errors

• Missing/Incorrect information/relationships - 11

The total number of differences for all 48 soldiers is 296. This is 22 fewer differences than October, when we checked 44 soldiers. Some differences/errors affect the data more than others. If we checked other pensions, we'd probably find similar differences. So, in November you checked more soldiers than in the previous month and reduced your errors. Good work!
