Family Group Record Format

• Pages should be named in the form "Family:Surname, Given Middle (birth_year-death_year)". If either year is not known exactly, use, for example, a1701 (after), b1701 (before), c1701 (circa or about), s1701 (say, for guesses), or ? (no idea). If the date is a double date, such as 1700/1, use 1701.
• The names of the pages should typically be named after the husband in the relationship, unless the focus of the page is a daughter of a Whitney individual.
• In general, do not create pages for individuals who did not marry or have children. Instead, include their information with their entry on their parents' page. An except might be when an exceptional amount of information exists for the individual, and including that information on the parents' page would make that page difficult to read.
