Genealogy

Came at the attempt to find out when people died from a different angle. Started looking at US social security death indexes (US SSDI) - focussing on free:  https://www.cyndislist.com/us/social-security/how-to/  (yes there is a link to family search here but I am trying to prove they are dead before moving them over.) https://www.cyndislist.com/us/social-security/ssdi/   http://www.donslist.net/PGHLookups/SSDIM.htm   https://stevemorse.org/ssdi/ssdi.html   Generally searched on first name, last name (married), and birth year using birthdate to confirm the correct entry.

My recent pain is after typing a lot, is that I have yet to find an easy way to print it out from gramps. The descendant tree is not cited. The sources report is just a dump of some bits: sources and citations, but not repositories or notes (links, academic ci...
