MVCC Progress

·         Giles has updated the relevant Stata scripts and the MVCC website so that mil info and census info from .dat files can be transformed into the grid in the MVCC system.  She has begun working on a feature to present the old mil info so that it can be accessed from the grid.

Urban Collection

With the Urban data uploaded into the screens and with the new ability to create the grid, Noelle is going back to input the obit information for the Urban sample of 16 veterans and their sons and grandsons.  With the census data now visible in the screens to help populate the trees, more death dates are being found.  We will provide an updated spreadsheet when the work is complete.
