The indexer entered information from reference image +1.

I am reviewing. Should I delete the 40+ entries which are taken from the reference image? Would it be better to return it using "labs" so that someone is aware of the problem? What do you suggest?

    I would use the "Reasons to Reindex Batch" form the labs. Someone is wasting a lot of time indexing those reference images because they don't understand them. Obviously, they understood that there were 70 preset entries and deleted 6 of them and is a very good indexer (or reviewer). I would not delete the data for reindexing. Hopefully, FamilySearch will contact the indexer and explain the dynamics of reference images - when to use them and when not to use them.

    • The default number of entries per image for this project is 70. You may need to add or delete entries in the data entry area to index all of the records on an image or remove unused entries.
