A death record states that a married couple presented to civil authority a female child "sans vie." No age listed. Moreover, the record states that the child was "procure par Marie Louise Ligy epouse de Joseph Thomas." It does not appear that the couple named are the parents of the deceased. There is no name for the child. Not sure how best to handle this record.

    "Sans vie" means that the child was dead when he came to the world. In such a case no name is given........ just record it as Unknown.
