Cleaning up Family Records

The blog "Rejoice, and be exceeding glad..." recently posted a terrific article on cleaning up entries in FamilySearch Family Tree. Here's a direct link to the article.

The author, James Tanner, offers some great advice that can easily be applied to all our family history relatives. Here's just a few of the steps he outlines:

• Entering a life sketch when available
• Checking the names of individuals to see that they are correctly entered
• Verifying and standardizing dates and place names
• Completing and regularizing death and burial information
• Verifying and editing family member information
