Clive's research memory
What we know, what we don't, and what we've killed off.
These notes stay with the archive. Clive can use them to avoid cheerfully resurrecting a disproved ancestor later.

Tree check-up
One calm answer: what needs attention?
Clive now brings contradictions, likely duplicates, pending record facts and weak research links into one short check-up. He shows no more than three areas here and puts the best next action first; the detailed specialist panels remain available when you want them.
