Searched for: HER FIRST SEARCH OF ANY KIND, AND IT ONLY BECAME POSSIBLE TODAY - before [C.181] the catalog had no surname to look for her under after 1950. Two searches, both with NO location token (the day's rule, after a guessed Find a Grave place id returned a Nebraska memorial under a chip reading "New Jersey"): (a)firstname=Alvina,lastname=Bigos, no dates. (b) a COVERAGE CONTROL -lastname=Bigosalone, deaths 1995 +/- 25 (1970-2020), run to find out whether a null in (a) means anything. (link)Result: (a) NO MATCHES AT ALL - not a short list, a nil return. (b) 814 matching records, among them New Jersey burials at Keasbey, Middlesex Co. and Saddle Brook, Bergen Co. => THE NULL IS A REAL ONE AND NOT A COVERAGE GAP. Find a Grave carries the Bigos surname in quantity, in New Jersey included, so her absence is about her and not about the site's holdings. That distinction is the whole point of running (b), and without it (a) would have been worth nothing. What it leaves open: she may have no memorial; she may be memorialised under a form the given-name field does not match; or she may have remarried and be buried under a third surname. She died between June 1968 and 2 May 2018, which is still fifty years. Next, and not yet run: the Social Security Death Index and a New Jersey death index under Bigos, neither of which depends on a contributor having created a page.
