    Liberia—2008 Census [Part M][M38J-BV8]

    This question has been answered before. We notice this project bringing up census with a white and grey out column some of the numbers are same others are different.

    The project instructions on What to Index Example # 2 shows us to index the numbers in the white column.

    Please use the numbers in the non-shaded area as this is the area which is used in Example 2. This record will be freely accessible to researchers when it is published and they will be able to see the second set of numbers. Thank you for your dedication.

    What if the non-shaded area is blank and the shaded are has information? Should we mark as blank, or rely on the shaded information?

    If there is only information in the grey area go ahead and index that information but keep in mind that the white area takes precedence over the grey area. Thank you for asking!
