Question #1: Why do you use a ? if you do not know an answer for a Question on a form instead of putting Unknown on a form.
Answer #1: we use a ? because it uses less data when uploading on our web page. It also saves every one time and is much quicker when reading forms.
Question #2: Why do we use the colors that are on our web site.
Answer #2: Red, White, & Blue, are for USA plus Red and White are the School colors of Mankato, West High School. This High School was the one Danna, Gary and the rest of their family graduated from.

Question #4: Why do we use the birth date format that we use on this web site. EXAMPLE: 1-11-1941 and not 1-11-41 or any of the other possibilities.
Answer #4: We use the 1-11-1941 format because to use the 01-11-1941 format you add all the 0's. You would have on over 18,000 forms and trying to upload that much extra data, you would soon see why it is this way. You need the full year because we have forms from 1800 and 1900 and soon will have forms from 2000. So this is why you don't just use the 1-11-41 format. You need the whole birth date month, day and year.

Answer #5: If you can not view the second (right side) column you need to set your text to medium. Or you can go to view then zoom out.

Question: #10: Why Are Babies Born with Blue Eyes ?
Answer #10: You inherit your eye color from your parents, but no matter what the color is now, it may have been blue when you were born. Why ? Melanin, the brown pigment molecule that colors your skin, hair, and eyes, hadn't been fully deposited in the irises of your eyes or darkened by exposure to ultraviolet light. The iris is the colored part of the eye that controls the amount of light that is allowed to enter. Some other animals are born with blue eyes, too, such as kittens.
Melanin is a protein. Like other proteins, the amount and type you get is coded in your genes. Irises containing a large amount of melanin appear black or brown. Less melanin produces green, gray, or light brown eyes. If your eyes contain very small amounts of melanin, they will appear blue or light gray. People with albinism have no melanin in their irises and their eyes may appear pink because the blood vessels in the back of their eyes reflect light.
Melanin production generally increases during the first year of a baby's life, leading to a deepening of eye color. The color is often stable by about 6 months of age. However, several factors can affect eye color, including use of certain medications and environmental factors. Some people experience changes in eye color over the course of their lives. People can have eyes of two colors. Even the genetics of eye color inheritance isn't as cut-and-dried as was once thought, as blue-eyed parents have been known (rarely) to have a brown-eyed child!
