Pet Peeve #17

Legg inn av singhals » 09 nov 2004 16:15:49

Pet Peeve #17 is bugging me today:

People who put GEDCOMs on-line which have indexes listing SURNAME (15
hits) and all 15 of 'em are LIVING.

Almost worse are those which have 17 LIVING SURNAME, and 1 born 1879
whose spouse is shown as LIVING.

I applaud the discretion (unlike the one I found which had children born
in the early 1900s listed by name and birthplace) but the tantalus bugs
me. (g)

PET PEEVE #17.5: people who do the above and THEN withhold their e-mail
addy, leaving me no way to ASK if Almira Amanda is among their LIVINGs!

Cheryl off to the census sites.

I ran across a listing of LIVINGs such as you described. It was *>my<* family
and I e-mailed the person who had posted it. Never got a reply. It made me
curious as to who knew me that was working on the family line. I'm pretty sure
it was me. Not many LIVING Mc Mindes married a LIVING Hickey and had 5
children with the oldest a step-child.
