This doesn't look like a funeral program to me so it shouldn't be indexed, correct? It does have death information but Instructions say -

• Index all obituaries, death notices, and funeral programs.
• Mark all other images, including marriage, anniversary, and birthday announcements, family group sheets, family history stories, or live announcement articles, in Step 1: Images as No, No Extractable Data.

Well i cant see the file youre talking about. However, sounds to me like youre on the right track, if the instructions say to mark them so, then i would.

ive always wondered though, where do they go? Because they do have data thats extractable but they just arent what the batch is for. Is that person lost forever??

T his is part of a funeral program so needs to be indexed per the Project instruction you posted.

Melissa S Himes

That does not look like an obituary or funeral program to me. If you look at the reference images, I think you will find this is a "Brief History of the Bode Family 1813 - July 31, 1938". I would not index this.

@Colin Keleko Pumau'u Yamamoto_1 I was told that images that are marked NED are looked at and if they need to be put in a different project they are. If they are marked incorrectly as NED, they are sent back out for indexing.

As Melissa indicated, It sure seems like one of those “ family history stories” that are explicitly supposed to be marked NED per the “What to Index” part of the Project Instructions.

• Mark all other images, including marriage, anniversary, and birthday announcements, family group sheets, family history stories, or live announcement articles, in Step 1: Images as No, No Extractable Data.

Thanks for your answers. I felt like it fit in more as a family history story, too.
