1. A birth Certificate is the only true valid source in Genealogy

Explanation

A birth certificate is not the only true valid source in genealogy. While birth certificates can provide valuable information about an individual's birth date, place of birth, and parents' names, they are just one of many sources that genealogists use to research and document family history. Other sources such as marriage certificates, death certificates, census records, immigration records, and church records also provide important information for genealogical research. Therefore, it is incorrect to claim that a birth certificate is the only true valid source in genealogy.

2. Red letters say that the Mother was born after the Child

Explanation

The correct answer is B, C, D, and E because it suggests being proactive and investigating the situation further. By documenting any unusual information and seeking help from others, it allows for a more accurate understanding of the ages and relationships involved. This approach ensures that the correct information is recorded in the source file or notes, leading to more accurate and reliable data.

4. You see a person without a death date...from Europe

Explanation

The correct answer is F. This option suggests leaving the death date blank, but also checking FindaGrave International, Geneanet, or Ancestry with the country to find the correct document. If a document is found, it should be documented in the notes section along with where the search was conducted, and a copy of the proof should be saved to the profile. This is the most comprehensive and thorough approach to handling a person without a death date, ensuring that all possible sources are checked and documented for future reference.

5. Can a member use the Consultant Planner without a Consultant Present?

Explanation

Yes, a member can use the Consultant Planner without a consultant present. The Consultant Planner is a tool designed to help members plan and track their activities, goals, and progress. It is meant to be a resource for members to use independently, even when they don't have direct access to a consultant.

Submit
6. You can use the Consultant Planner if you are not a member quite yet.

Explanation

The given statement suggests that the Consultant Planner can be used even if someone is not a member yet. However, the correct answer is False because the statement is incorrect. The Consultant Planner can only be used by members, implying that non-members cannot access or use it.

Submit
7. You see that someone put First:____JOHN          Last:  SMITH______ Suffix: My7GGGGGGGF!

Explanation

The correct answer is B, D, AND E. This means that the correct course of action is to help correct the system by deleting anything from the Prefix or Suffix which is not a Prefix or Suffix, make it blank, and only include a prefix or suffix if the person is a I, II, III from succeeding generations or is a Senior or Junior (Sr. or Jr.). This ensures that the information entered is accurate and follows the proper naming conventions.

8. You can't find when the person died, you

Explanation

Submit
9. If you are in the Consultant Planner and see a dead end, you:

Explanation

The correct answer is G. You only have documentation that her name is Jane, leave last name blank - document your actions in the notes below in HIS and HER profiles. Do B, C, D, and this one and you are covered. This answer suggests that if you only have information about the person's first name and no last name, you should leave the last name field blank. However, you should make sure to document your actions in the notes section of both the HIS and HER profiles. Additionally, you should also perform the tasks mentioned in options B, C, and D to ensure that you have covered all necessary actions.

Submit
10. For Females, if the husband is John Smith, if you don't know their maiden name, you:

Explanation

If the maiden name of the wife is not known, the correct way to address her is by using her husband's last name. Therefore, option B, "Mrs. Smith," is the correct answer. However, if the maiden name is not known and the options B and D are both correct, it is also recommended to look for the marriage license of the husband, Mr. John Smith, from the town or state he was last on census, 1-2 years before the birth of their first child. This additional step helps to confirm the correct last name to use when addressing the wife. Therefore, the correct answer is F, "D AND E."
