MARC 610 Field



Fellow Archivists,

I am cataloging a group of archival records that relate to the City Council
of the City of Savannah, GA, 1859-1941.

The scope notes for one of the groups of records contains the name of the
City Engineer, W. O'D. Rockwell.  I have researched several sources and am
unable to find any documentation  that gives his full name or his date of
birth.  Would I use the 651 field and would it be formatted as follows:

610  14  Rockwell, W. O'D.  $d  ?-1927

Would I need to include geographic subdivisions?

Thanks for your assistance.
