Issues to be checked

Generated by WikiTree AGC. This section should be removed when all issues have been looked at.

• A burial fact had no date. Changed its date to be after the death date.
• There is no source with source id 'S1641'. GEDCOMPare typically does this when there is a source which is a record for a different person (such as the spouse). The ref is still added but is missing the source repository data.
• A fact of type 'Residence' had no date but shared a ref with a 'Residence' fact with the date '1996'. So the fact with no date had its date set to that.
