Recording that a family member passed away

Recording a death is a sensitive decision, so only the tree's creator or an admin they appointed can do it.

Steps

1. Open the person's card, then Edit, and type the date of death.
2. A confirmation shows the name and date. Nothing is saved until you confirm.
3. After confirming, a condolence post goes up on the family wall, and the people the person left legacy messages for are told they have arrived. See legacy messages.

Notes

• A death older than 60 days is saved quietly with no post, as when entering grandparents.
• A future date is not accepted.
• People who are not admins are told this is the tree admin's decision.
