Action plan

 Here are our priorities:

  • Finish up the last little bit of the Grandchildren sample.
    • Death date search
    • Data integrity checks
  • 1,067 sons
    • Collect birth date, death date, 1930 census, 1940 census for the sons (grandsons of the vets) of these sons
    • Collect birth and death dates for the wives of these sons and grandsons of the vets
  • Sample A draft cards
    • Input height/weight/date from WWII draft cards for all Sample A grandsons
  • Sample B draft cards/census links
    • For all grandsons, input height/weight/date from WWII draft cards and 1930/1940 census links
  • Samples A & B wives
    • Collect birth and death dates for the wives of the Sample A and Sample B sons and grandsons

Action plan:

  1. Finish Grandchildren sample
    1. Please have your death date searches finished this week. You may ask others for help with your lists.
    2. I will email you any corrections you need to make for data integrity checks.
  2. Sample A draft cards
    1. Begin work on this as soon as you're finished with the death date search.
  3. 1,067 sons
    1. Once we get a final sample for this collection we will begin it, even if we haven't finished collecting Sample A draft cards
  4. Sample B draft cards/census links
  5. Samples A & B wives

I will email instructions before we begin each item.
