<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Style Guidelines ==<br /> Robert - these are just my suggestions, but we'll need to discuss. There will probably be more as we think of them.<br /> <br /> === General Site Guidelines ===<br /> * Dates: our preferred format is 12 Jan 1892.<br /> * Name capitalization: The preferred format is for names to be in upper/lower case, such as this: '''John Whitney'''. Please refrain from all capital surnames such as '''WHITNEY''' unless the original source has it thus.<br /> ===Archive Page Guidelines===<br /> * Spelling, upper/lower case, date formats, etc. should be in the format of the original source.<br /> <br /> === Family Group Record Guidelines ===<br /> See [[Family Group Record Format]] for style guidelines for Family Group Record pages.</div>
