Unknown Birth Place
A new convert was adopted and doesn't know where she was born. She knows the town and state where she was adopted but the adoption was closed and she's never known her birth place. For the purposes of her new record will her adoption location suffice as her birth place?

Birth Place is not a required field in MLS, nor is it required on the record. If the person does not know her birth place, leave it blank until the information becomes available. I wouldn't use the adoption place as the birth place.

In my last membership audit, 6 records came up for not having birth place on the record. In addition, when ever I do an membership validation that too comes up. So I was told if we can not find out, put unknown down as the Birthplace.smithgw wrote:Birth Place is not a required field in MLS, nor is it required on the record.
