On some of the images half the baptismal entry is on the previous page how is this going to indexed when I cannot get back to that page? As an example the mothers name and the witnesses were on the image I had but the child's name and the father's name were on the previous page.

    Hi Jenette. You probably don’t index that record, because it would/should have been done with the previous batch. But please share your batch info for the most accurate answer. Go to Help> Share Batch to see how. Study the main body of your Project Instructions but also, in the General Indexing Guidelines section of your Project Instructions you should find guidance like the following:

    What to Do When Records Span 2 Images or to View Additional Images

    • If the first record on an image begins on a previous image, don't index it. The record will be indexed as part of the previous batch. Start indexing at the first complete record. 
    • If the last record on an image continues to the next image, index the entire record, including what continues to the next image.
    • To see the next image while continuing to index information for the current image, do the following:

    1. In the top corner of the image window, in the vertical toolbar, click the Reference Images 

     icon.

    2. Below the screen on the right, click a thumbnail next to the image you are currently indexing.

    3. Index the record while viewing both images at the same time.

    4. To exit split screen mode, in the vertical toolbar, click the Reference Images 

     icon.
