Two different entries in the Liber and page column.
I'm reviewing batch US, New York, Capital—Index to Land Records, Grantees, 1630–1975 [Part A][MSYV-9YV]. There are two Liber. and page numbers in some of the rows. The indexer listed the "original" letters and numbers but not the ones that appear to have been written in afterward. Should the word "and" or "or" put in the book and page reference numbers? Hope this makes sense. EX:

Hi @Anthony Paul Trojanowski Jr.
The Field Help (FH) - purple question mark - for the Book or Volume Number field doesn't help with this issue, but the FH for Page Reference Number field tells us:
If multiple numbers were recorded, index only the first number.
I would apply this guidance by extension to the Book or Volume Number field. And I would interpret "first" chronologically in this case, and index the original pair as the Indexer has.

Thank you, John. I thought the indexer was correct but wanted to be sure. I'll continue reviewing the batch in the morning.
