White dwarfs (WDs) in open star clusters are a highly useful ensemble ofstars. While numerous researchers use open cluster WDs to study theinitial-final mass relation, numerous other evolutionary studies are alsoenabled by this sample of stars, including searches for stochastic mass loss,studies of binary star evolution, and measurements of metallicity impacts on WDformation and evolution. However, it is crucial to use astrometric data such asproper motions to remove contaminating field WDs from open cluster samples;multi-epoch ground based imaging is needed for most open cluster WDs. Also, thestrongly correlated errors in the initial mass - final mass plane must beconsidered; we illustrate the importance of this consideration using a largeopen cluster WD sample and Monte Carlo techniques.
