We use a guideline for OBITS with more restrictions for Lenoir and Greene. Fifty years comes to mind or at the very least no LIVING heirs with names. Martha, Here are a couple of things to pass on to the lists about the archives submissions. Thanks, Patty NEW GUIDELINES FOR THE NC USGENWEB ARCHIVES SUBMISSIONS (most of us have been following these, but this makes it official:-) (1) All effort should be taken to avoid posting information concerning living persons. Such information should be posted as an exception rather than as the norm. (2) The following guidance applies to Vital Records: (a) Records of births during the last 70 years should not be posted. 1931 (b) Records of marriages during the last 50 years should not be posted. 1951 (c) Records of deaths for any year may be posted. (d) Records of divorces during the last 70 years should not be posted. 1931 (3) Obituaries naming surviving family members may be posted if personal information concerning those family members is excluded. An example of personal information would be the street address of a surviving family member. (4) The Social Security Account Number, or any other number assigned to a living person, should never be posted. (5) The military record of any living person should not be posted without their approval. (6) Cemetery or tombstone records which name a living spouse or family member need not be altered before posting. (7) Contributions containing information about living persons may be posted with their consent. (8) A record which has been posted containing information about a living person will be removed immediately upon the request of the person named in the record.
