In Family Tree, what does "Needs more information" mean?

Share

If you see a Needs More Information error, you must resolve the problem causing the error before you can reserve the family name. Here are possible reasons for the error message:

  • The name does not meet the information requirements.
  • Dates and places are not standardized.
  • No event information is shown for the person. A date and place are required for at least one of the following events: birth, christening, marriage, death, or burial.
  • The person's sex is not indicated.

For sealing to parents, look for these problems:

  • A child has only one parent.
  • The child or a parent is missing required information.

For sealing to spouse, look for these problems:

  • The couple must be linked as spouses before the sealing can be performed.
  • One of the spouses is missing required information.
