My problem is duplicates do I add them in or not, or how can I tell if they are dupilicates because they have different addressess. Your help is much appreciated. See attached photo.

    Hi Eric

    I'm also in NZ doing the Electoral Rolls, I take it you are reviewing because the indexing of this project is complete.

    We are not indexing the addresses only the names and sex so the fact that people of the exact same name have different addresses is of no consequence.

    As far as the names are concerned, if there are 5 x John Smith with no middle initial or name differentiating them, the name would only need to be indexed once. When the researcher searches for John Smith they will see the image and can decide which is their John.

    Cheers

    Gail

    Please share your batch copying and pasting the batch link or batch code. When your batch is open, click Help, in the upper left just above the toolbar. On the drop-down menu, click Share Batch. You'll see those 2 options.

    You tried to share an image, but is "pending" . It's better to share the batch so that whoever helps you can also see the Project Instructions and Field Helps.
