The Common Room / Re: Infant deaths - include or exclude?
« on: Sunday 22 August 21 19:53 BST (UK) »I include the children I've found. My dad had two other sisters and my mum had one little sister. They were given names and registered. I believe now I had another three aunties.
Another similar thing, which I've wanted to post on Rootschat but have never felt able to and maybe now is the time, is my sister had a baby that died last year. She was half way through her pregnancy when it was discovered the baby had no kidneys or bladder and would not survise (my sister was keeping him alive). She was given the option to go full term or be induced. She chose the latter. Glen was born but because he was not full term she was not allowed to register him. I want to put him in my tree but am unsure if this is the right thing to do since he was not registered birth or death (or maybe put a bit in my sisters notes?). The hospital gave my sister a certificate to acknowledge him.
Oh, getting myself all upset again!!

Hi Sharon
I think all babies should be added as should infant deaths, they are family after all.
