Check ID Code for a Kellogg
Instructions for Using Check ID Code
This function (Check ID Code for a Kellogg) determines if the specified Kellogg is already in the database, and defines his/her parentage. There are four possible outcomes:
One: The Kellogg is already in the database, is a male with non-zero productive offspring (i.e., one or more were married and had children of their own), and already has a Person Page in place, and at least one Person Page for an offspring in place. Operationally, the Kellogg has n_offspring > zero.
Two: The Kellogg is already in the database and may be male or female. Such Kelloggs do not have an expandable menu in the Table of Contents (lack of [+] icon). If this Kellogg has children, productive, not productive or productivity unknown, in keeping with the Hopkins style, he/she should have his own Person Page. If this page does not exist, it will need to be Added. Operationally, the Kellogg currently has n_offspring = zero.
Three: The Kellogg is already in the database and is currently regarded as being non-productive, i.e., has not produced a Kellogg-surnamed child. In other words, this person is a Kellogg male with no offspring or his/her mother was a Kellogg, and married a non-Kellogg. The story for this Kellogg (assuming no changes in marriage, children, etc.) is included on their parent's Person Page. Operationally, the Kellogg is currently recorded as having n_offspring < zero, which indicates a branch "END".
Four: The Kellogg is NOT in the database. In this event, their tree will be traced back to the closest ancestor that is present in the database, e.g., father, mother, grandfather, great grandfather, etc. Based on that data, the tree must be constructed from that point down to the proposed new Kellogg.
The results from Check ID Code for a Kellogg will specify the next steps.
