For Death in Family

When a death in the family occurs, you’ll want to properly reflect this in the database. To do this:

1. Expand the People menu.
2. Pull up the record for the deceased.
3. Change their Association to Deceased.
4. If they were married, make sure to change the Marital Status on the surviving spouse to “Widow(er) ”.
5. Remove their name from the spouse name field on the surviving spouses record.
6. Make sure they are not marked as the “head of family”.
