Roy: I did get some information from Mira and she listed people as such: 1. John Pace (Edward "Neddie", William Henry, John H., John, Joseph). This then gave me some idea as to which John Pace she was talking about. I suppose if each information submittal had some lineage such as this (as much as the person knows in either direction), it would make looking for information a little easier. So for example if I submitted a picture of my Grandfather I would say: Thomas Jefferson Pace (Jonathan W., John, Edward "Neddie", William Henry, John H., John, Joseph). If someone came across a name with no connection, just say what they do know. Any standard should be flexable. I plan to submit a bunch of pictures and other historical documents (birth, marriage, Bible pages) and rather than be a long list that a searcher would have to open each one, a naming standard would speed up the search. I'm open to whatever standard the Society suggests.
