New rule for adopted and step grandchildren

After working through a list of grandchildren that were missing their death screens only to find that half of them were adopted or step grandchildren, I thought we needed a new rule.

For all grandchildren who are adopted or step children, please add a death screen that includes the name and sex of the grandchild. In parentheses after the name, enter "ADOPTED" or "STEP" as appropriate. Do this also for grandchildren whose parent is an adopted or step child of the veteran.

Input names like this (following the standard name rule):

• HALE, MARGARET (ADOPTED)
• THORNTON, JOHN (STEP)

Who this rule applies to:

• adopted children of the soldier's biological children
• step children of the soldier's biological children
• biological children of the soldier's adopted children
• biological children of the soldier's step children

This rule will help with data integrity checks at the end of collection. It will also allow us to determine which grandchildren are adopted or step.

This rule is effective immediately. If you have any adopted or step grandchildren on your current assignment, please add the death screens for them. There is no need to go back to previous assignments.
