Please be careful with the field CHILD'S SURNAME: Project instructions example and field help indicate no surname should be indexed based on parents' surname. The image only shows the child's given name.

Someone is indexing "Mrs" for MOTHER'S PREFIX when the image does not show that prefix. It should be marked <BLANK>.

Beware of BURIALS images. Some indexers are mixing up the DATE OF DEATH and DATE OF BURIAL.

This is an advanced project. Please study the project instructions and field help! Don't make assumptions based on other projects you worked on.

    Thank you for reminding people to be careful and read instructions! It is no shame to send batches back when they are difficult or confusing! This is advanced so will be out of many people's comfort zone.
