Granddaughters of Veterans
• Sample B granddaughters.
We have completed 900 of 1826 soldiers or 49.3%
Including 5,351 of 11,264 granddaughters or 47.5%
Wives
• There are a few small problems for Heather to fix, but Coralee will probably be ready to send the wives sample to Dora tomorrow (2/24).
• QUESTION: Some of the wives in the sample are grandchildren of the vet who married first cousins. Our rule has always been to mark relationships on the grid in the direct line to the vet, so they are all marked as grandchildren (or children of children of the vet) not as spouses. Should we somehow indicate in the data that these are grandchildren as well as spouses of other grandchildren?
Dora's answer: useful to be able to identify that a spouse is a veteran descendant so, yes, please do indicate that.

to 1940
·
Coralee did some calculations regarding merging
the two different 1940 full census sources, and looked closely at the
occupation coding in the full-count file that she was using to retrieve the
occupation codes.
o
She thinks it would take months longer to
complete the merging process and have all of their codes. There are a lot of
inconsistencies in their coding that she can't account for, and a lot of
differences between their coding and our coding.
o
It will be faster and consistent with the rest
of our data for us to code the occupations ourselves.
