"The name might be found by checking attached records."

baby Acuna GL1H-JWF and Summary

I LOVE that you give this suggestion!

1. Why not add the same kind of suggestion to other errors in this summary? The burial conclusion is missing a date and place, could have an additional sentence: Burial information might be included on one or more of the attached death records.
2. Could the phrase "The name might be found by checking attached records." link to the sources for the individual?
3. Is there any way to note that there are no attached records (none attached to this baby, yet) and suggest looking for records to attach rather than "checking [already] attached records"? Could this suggestion be linked to the Search page with the name and other information pre-filled?(Same as clicking on the Search Records/FamilySearch link on the Person Page.)
4. In this particular instance, this baby's mother states in the 1910 census that she has born 5 children but only 3 are still alive. We only ever knew of the 3 living children and the only source we have for this child (birth & death are estimated between her marriage and the oldest living child) is this 1910 census which I have not yet attached. So until we can locate any other information on this child, there will be no indexed sources attached. Wouldn't it make more sense for the 'Consistent with Tagged Sources' to give full marks if there ARE sources tagged to the conclusion, even though they are not indexed sources?

Good ideas.

Just want to mention that "the name might be found..." should be a dismissible flag if that day comes. There are scores in infants among my wife's family who died before being christened and so were never given and will never have a first name.

In this situation, guidelines have always stated: "For an individual with an unknown name or a child who died without receiving a name, enter only the last name of the father or family name into the surname field. Do not enter a first name." (For example: https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/temple-ordinances-for-unnamed-child )

There should be no encouragement to make up a first name such as Infant, Baby, or such to get rid of the flag.

@AnneLoForteWillson thank you for the feedback. These issues are all now dismissable.
