glx coverage

Show source coverage matrix for a person

Synopsis

Display a checklist of expected records for a person and which ones are present.

Generates a source coverage matrix based on the person's birth and death years, showing which census records, vital records, and other documents have been found versus which are still missing.

Record categories:

  • Census: US federal census records the person should appear in
  • Vital: Birth, death, and marriage records
  • Other: Probate, land, military, and church records

Missing high-priority records are flagged to guide research efforts.

The person argument can be an exact entity ID or a name substring.
