Standards Used at This Site

For privacy standards, please see the Web Site Privacy Page instead of this one.


"Last Verified" Tag: This data tag indicates that I have personally searched for data on the person so tagged in my usual places, the LDS Church web site and rootsweb/ancestry.com. I may have checked other sources as well. The date on the tag is the date that I performed the search, so if something has happened to the marked person since, I probably don't yet know about it. Visitors may assume that it will parallel the function of a "last changed" tag.


Place Names: All place names will follow a left-to-right order of increasing size, with country being the rightmost element.  Data I have obtained from other researchers may not follow this guideline and will be converted as noted or otherwise found.  Missing elements will generally be represented by a single dash.  Uncertainty about a location will be represented by a single, trailing question mark.

In the United States, this means a strict order of "city, county, state, country."  Obviously, the country will uniquely be "USA" and the states and territories will have their two letter standard postal abbreviations.  Some locations may include a zip code; useful in the larger cities for locating the neighborhood.
