ALWAYS input death information

I've had this question come up a couple of times.

If the soldier or his children die in a foreign country, should I input the death information?

The answer is YES. Always input all death information. We are a study on aging, disease and death, so it is very important.

Don't confuse this with the rule for census manuscripts. We only collect US Federal census data. If the soldier or his children lived outside the US, mark the appropriate decades on the grid as Not Searched. Save foreign or state censuses to the family tree.
