## Held fields

- status: Working notes on the project's own pages and release steps, not facts about the person.
- recent_death_flag: A working note for the project's own family-sensitivity review of a death within ten years, not a fact about the person.
- research notes, decision files and internal record codes: The citations column keeps each source as cited and removes the project's working paths, record codes and catalog numbers.

## Row filters

Every row passed the download boundary's two filters before it was written: rows about a person who may be living are excluded, and rows whose state is unresolved (verify, lead, ambiguous and similar) are excluded. This publication excluded 0 rows as possibly living and 0 as unresolved at that boundary.

## Reading the data

Each row is a lead from a named source, not a verified service record. A camp list, cemetery note or casualty card is not a service record, and one name may be two people or two names one person.

A blank birth or death field means no source used here gives one. It is not a statement that the person is living.

Spellings are the sources' own. name_variants lists the other forms found; a reading the sources disagree on is described in citations.

The page /veterans/ is the source of truth. A correction made there reaches this file at the next publication.
