Okay, first time I've ever started one of these games...
This starts in 1900 and goes until 2009.
Rules:
-No surnames
-You may do Jrs. and IIIs, etc. if you don't want to use a name from the name bank (see
http://www.SSA.gov/OACT/babynames/ ). That goes for both parents, including the mother (the women don't get those titles, though)
-bold new family members, or if you don't know how just put + signs around the name
-include years of birth (1880 is the farthest back allowed)
-include death dates after a while. I don't want to see any people born between 1880 and 1905 still alive in 2009.
-you may start at this any time, however if you start this in a later round, please be sure to give the entire family data.
-limit amount of middle names to 3.
-Middle names do not have to be popular that year.
-If I don't like the way you spell a certain name I'll modify the spelling to my taste.
-No nicknames without a full name and quotation marks around the nickname.
