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.
