When alternative dates are provided which date should be used?
Answers
-
- The dates were typically written in a month, day, year order.
- If more than 1 enlistment date was given, use the earliest date.
- The date at the top of a roster or roll may be used for all entries as the enlistment date if the entries don't contain their own individual enlistment dates.
- When multiple dates are present on the image, please choose the military date based on the following hierarchy:
- Enlistment date
- Muster roll or monthly roster date
- Any other applicable military date
- If there is a transfer record and each name has a day, such as "24th," or month or year, and there is a complete date recorded at the top or bottom of the page, use the complete date for each person on the record
Hope this helps. This is found in the instructions
