Re: Genealogy Searches

We don't have a "line" here (that nobody wants to cross), but fortunately, back in the day, they kept pretty good records and stamped them 'deceased'. If it's questionable, I ask for an obit or death notice.

See some of you tomorrow!

Dec. 10, 1911 is the date that we use at UM. That is the "Lommasson Line." Emma Lommasson is our oldest living graduate, so if you want information for anyone born after her, you have to provide an obituary or death notice.

This is from our transcript/verification coordinator, Susan:

If the student was born after Dec 11, 1910, we would require a death certificate to show that the student is deceased. If deceased, then anyone can have a copy of the records as we are no longer under FERPA.

If the individual is still alive, FERPA restrictions apply and only they can access their records.

Thanks,

I think we've discussed this before but I can't locate the chain in my files for the conversation. So here we go again (maybe)

What do you require outside people do or submit when they are requesting information and/or documents to support genealogy searches?

Thanks for your thoughts.
