McPadden Project — correction or family lead

This is a note template, not a submission form. Downloading it sends nothing.

1. Page or story you are referring to:
2. Deceased person’s full name, approximate dates and place:
3. What you would like us to reconsider or investigate:
4. Source title, record locator or link (if available):
5. Is this a document reading, first-hand memory, family story or a possibility?
6. Is this your own first-hand account, a family story, or someone else's account?
7. Would you like us to discuss possible quotation and attribution, or should we
   treat this as a private research lead only? This is a preference, not a release.

Please omit private living-person details, precise home locations, identification
documents and DNA data. Do not attach material you lack permission to share.
Publication and further research are separate decisions, not promises.

Use this blank template to prepare a message to the project. Keep the completed
copy private; do not upload it as a public family record. Any proposed quotation,
attribution or publication will be discussed separately. For contact and privacy
information, visit the project's Contact and Privacy & reuse pages.
