Family trees

Please make sure your family trees are correct. That is follow all rules and naming conventions and make sure the information is correct. For example:

  • Make sure birth and death information are correct
  • Make sure relationships are correct
    • When the GEDCOMS are created, we can't connect the children with the correct mother if the soldier had multiple wives. Please take the time to correct this.
  • Delete duplicate individuals
  • Make sure all the soldiers children are on the tree
Having all the information correct and updated on the tree will increase the quality and number of hints you get for that family. Additionally, in the future, not only will family trees be used as data, but they will be playing a larger role in the inputting process. So, it's very important that they be correct.

  1. Do we need to input estimated death dates, and if so, what format should we use? Before year or between two years, etc...?

    1. I think put estimated death dates if it helps you get hints.
