Re: Child of Record - FamilySearch timeline

The confusion has been resolved. Biggles provided some information to me via private message that helped me to determine that he was looking at document records (under Search > Records) rather than a person (under Family Tree > Find).
It turns out that the person in Family Tree was indeed properly updated and is visible (because it is a deceased person) and has the death date properly recorded. According to the details on the person, the death appears to have been added 5 days after the death (and Biggles mentioned that he personally recorded the death in LCR on the very date of the person's death). Five days is longer than I've ever seen in my experience, but it was indeed recorded properly.
