== Style Guidelines ==
 
Robert - these are just my suggestions, but we'll need to discuss. There will probably be more as we think of them.
 
 
=== General Site Guidelines ===
 
* Dates: our preferred format is 12 Jan 1892.
 
* 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.
 
===Archive Page Guidelines===
 
* Spelling, upper/lower case, date formats, etc. should be in the format of the original source.
 
 
=== Family Group Record Guidelines ===
 
See [[Family Group Record Format]] for style guidelines for Family Group Record pages.
