I can't wait any longer folks... ":O>) I have been typing d.s.p. over and over again for the Dauphin County transcription work of Bob Maley, and I think, "Vince, you'll figure it out, or someone will ask the same thing..." Afraid I have *not* figured it out. What does d.s.p. mean? I figure it has something to do with the child either dying almost at birth, or something like that, but do not have a clue...

No wonder you couldn't figure it out...it stands for "Decessit sine parole".....died without issue.So, in a way, the other reply could be correct....the person may have been single, or married and just not blessed with any children. Linda Mockenhaupt
