This record, US, New York, Southern Tier—Index to Land Records, Grantees, 1630–1975 has written all the grantee's names, which are companies as, for example, "Company Watkins Cons. Power and Light." The word "Company" accompanies each grantee entry. As a reviewer, do I leave it or delete the word "company" from each Grantee entry? Thank you

    Thank you for posting the link to the batch.

    Do I leave it or delete the word "company" from each Grantee entry?

    You would leave the word company for each Grantee entry at the end of the name of it:

    All the grantee on this project are companies, note the Coma (,) after the word Company and for this please index the name of the company first followed by the word Company. For example: " Watkins Cons Power and Light Company

    On the other hand looking at the grantee or companies are repeated, note on the following guideline to index them: "unique name" is defined in this project as: "When names in the grantee and grantor columns, dates, and the book and page are exact duplicates, index only the first instance of the names listed." If all of the data mentioned above are exactly the same, you would only index it once -- hence, the unique name. If the date is different or the name, or the book and page numbers are different, it would not be a unique name.


    Hope this answer your question.
