Looks like none of the replys have answered the original question! Don't know how others document unnamed babies, but if I know the sex, I will document the first name as Baby Girl or Baby Boy. If sex is unknown, then I document it as Baby. Patricia Thomas-Hill [email protected]

I am sure most people, like me, are interested in ancestral relatives. My passion is the history of the various periods in which my ancestors and ancestral relatives lived. The issue is that, interesting and wonderful as they may be, ancestral relatives are not ancestors.

Labelling people as ancestors when they strictly are not is, to me, an example of imprecision which can lead to - no offence intended to anyone in particular - sloppiness in research. As an example of this, I view the past behaviour of some contributors to the LDS records as being sloppy in the extreme. Just name collecting.
