How are members grouped together in the same membership?

The MEMBERSHIP_ID is what is used to group members (patrons) together in the same membership (household).  In the below example, Frank & Steven are grouped together into the same household (10002). 

  

What are the required fields?

1. MEMBERSHIP_ID
   
2. LASTNAME
   
3. FIRSTNAME
   
4. BIRTHDATE
   
1. If you don't know the DOB, use 1/1/1900
   

Other requirements & tips

1. There can not be two exact names with the same exact MEMBERSHP_ID.
   
2. There can not be two members with the same BARCODE.
   
3. Text fields may contain commas and carriage returns but must be surrounded by double quotes.
   
1. Most spreadsheet apps do this automatically.  If not, delete the commas or add double quotes.   
   
4. To add more than one email, separate with semicolons.   
   
5. Date field format must be YYY-MM-DD or MM/DD/YYY (all numeric).
