[GNC] Reconciliation error - how should I correct?

[R Losey]

Normally, people 'reconcile' their records to the financial institution,
marking the ones on which they agree as 'reconciled'.

If everything went right, the accounts should balance, leaving the
transactions that the bank doesn't know about... regardless of date.

I sent a check to a sister-in-law that she probably won't cash, but she
cannot remember what she did with it... so, years later, it is still an
unreconciled item every time I balance the account.
