Hi,
What is the best way to correct an omission from the Census and Members
tables for older records when the other census rows from the time period
are status = L?
Specifically, I'm looking at records for Tito (sname = TIT) - she was a
female in Hook's group. Her rows in the BaBase Census and Members table
only go through October 1999 despite the fact that she was marked
present on field census sheets from November 1999 until her death in
June 1990. Other Hook's group census info was entered in BaBase during
this time window so the omission appears to be TIT specific.
I know creating a census dbf file for the missing dates for TIT and then
doing valcen and upcen would work for more recent records, but should I
resort to manual corrections for these older records?
Thanks,
Catherine
