I am indexing and have found a name that neither me or anybody I have asked knows what it says. What do I do?

    If you would like someone here to help you, please give us the name of your batch. Otherwise, just type as much of the name as you can. Put a ? for any missing letters or an * for more than one letter. If you can't read any of it, put Unable to Read (control U) in that spot and just keep doing the rest of the batch.

    It would be better to share the batch and hopefully someone here can assist you with the name.

    To have others help you, we need the batch code. This is the series of numbers/letters in brackets after the title of the project. [XXXX-XXX]
