Hi all,

Jeanne, Laurence, Karl, and I met this morning to discuss Karl's cycles 
et al documentation (see original email from Karl to listserv dated 
4/2/05).  While going over the text, we discussed running three queries 
to check on the current status of records in BaBase.  The results of 
those queries are as follows:

1.  Number of Biograph records with a blank Pid = 206 (Sorry, Jeanne - 
my mistake with the first count I gave you.)

2.  Number of Biograph records where the Pid for an individual was 
derived from that individual's own Sname as opposed to his/her mother's 
sname = 0 (This means that the old manual's text describing that in 
cases where "the mother is not known, the PID is the Sname of the 
individual that the pregnancy produced" was not used in practice.)

3.  Number of Pregs records with a blank Pid, Parity, or Conceive = 0

Thanks,
Catherine
