Hi
As a Family History Society we are transcribing the attendence books of the schools in our area, which we want to publish and sell. Is there an official cut off date? We are thinking around 60 - 70 years?
Any help please.
Thanks

70 years only takes you back to 1938, and there are many people in their seventies who were attending school in 1938, and who are still alive today. Perhaps 100 years would be better.

Thanks Schutzengel, but that is still not an official cut off year, and that is where our problem lies. No one can be positive about it yet.
