Hi Paula,
I've seen other cemetery transcriptions that just say "no death date", or
an
abbreviation key "ND"

Subject: [WIGEN-L] Cemetery Transcriptions
Hi There-
I have a question for everyone out there about reading a cemetery and then
placing the transcription on-line. I have read the cemetery and as we all
know there are always double headstones where one of the spouses is dead
and
the other alive. My question is what to do about this. What I mean is
-
fore
inst. - the headstone has John Doe 1920-1999 Jane Doe 1924- . So
most
likely Jane is still alive. I know because of privacy issues and identity
stealing problems not to put her birth but should I list her name at all?
How have the rest of you handled this?
Is it all right to just list the name and put private? Still living? don't
list the name at all?
I hate to not list the name at all-as if the name is there with private,
still living or something - atleast this would tell a family researcher
that
the spouse may still be living or is living.
I am not sure what to do in this situation. HELP!
Paula
