Urban Collection

 

·         Noelle has been working on researching/linking the Urban RECIDNUMS that Dora gave her to find death information. She is about half way through the list.

 

·         Coralee, Giles and Noelle are coordinating efforts to come up with a method to collect the urban death information. They plan to either collect it directly from the GEDCOM or upload the urban data from the original collection into the new database so that we can input data on the death screens. However, there are complications to both methods that they are working to resolve.

 

·         It is difficult to preserve the family relationships when the data is extracted from the GEDCOM without first assigning CHIDS to family members on the tree.  The problem is that the CHIDS come through the database which, to date, we have been unsuccessful at loading.
