***What are your memorial naming conventions?***

The above is a question in the Findagrave Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

Here is Findagrave's answer:

MEMORIAL NAMING CONVENTIONS:

Non-famous Memorials, if a hyphen or an apostrophe is part of the name, use the punctuation. Use a period after names where only an initial is known. IF THE FULL NAME IS KNOWN, USE THE FULL NAME. Do not use any other punctuation within any Name Field.
Do not use Full capitalization (ALL-CAPS) of names in any Name Field.
Suffixes and Prefixes do not belong in any Name Field.

FIRST NAME:

First name of the deceased. PUT THE ENTIRE FIRST NAME (IF KNOWN), even if the grave marker is only an initial. Do not include titles or other prefixes in the First Name field.

MIDDLE NAME:

Middle name of deceased. PUT THE ENTIRE MIDDLE NAME (if known), even if the grave marker is only an initial.

NICKNAME:

A familiar name of the deceased, if known; the nickname is automatically placed in quotes. A NICKNAME IS DIFFERENT THAN THE REAL NAME (FIRST OR MIDDLE).

MAIDEN NAME:

Maiden name of a married individual, if known (otherwise leave blank); the maiden name is automatically italicized and is only used if the individual was married and took the spouse's last name as their new last name. If the deceased was never married, then the last name is placed in the "Last Name" field, NOT in the "Maiden Name" field.

LAST NAME:

LAST NAME AS YOU WOULD FIND IT ON THE TOMBSTONE, IF THE INTERRED HAD MORE THAN ONE MARRIAGE OR OTHER POSSIBLE SPELLINGS PLACE THIS INFO IN THE
BIO And use the family links. Do not include honorary or other suffixes in the Last Name field.

The above is a Findagrave policy for ALL CONTRIBUTORS, please follow it.

Willing to be of assistance to anyone. I am researching DeLozier, Theobald, Walsh, Metts or Spivy/Spivey/Spiva Family History if you have a question regarding this ask away. I live in Abingdon, VA, if you need a pic or verification of an internment here, I am disabled, but will do my best to help you. Feel free to use the pictures I have added, corrections are welcomed and guideline transfers too. Non-guideline transfers will be considered, but on a case by case basis. Findagrave DOES NOT FORBID non-guideline transfers, they just don't require them to be made. So make your request and state your reason (Relation, etc). God Bless you and happy graving.
