I am indexing Johannesburg South Africa Cemetery Records and came across this. I am still new to indexing and am unsure how to proceed. I was unable to capture the note at the bottom that said to "see 422086" I am assuming it's referencing the record number which would follow numerically this one. Is this considered non-extract able data?

    This article is located in the project instruction: General Indexing guidelines:

    Crossed-Out, Corrected, Canceled, or Void Information

    When information was crossed out, corrected, canceled, or marked void, follow the instructions for “crossed out” that match the situation.

    • When information was crossed out and then replaced, type the new information in the appropriate fields.
    • When information was crossed out, was not replaced, and can be read, type the crossed-out information.
    • When information was crossed out, was not replaced, and cannot be read, mark the field as unreadable by pressing Ctrl+U, or on the indexing toolbar, click the
    •  icon.

    Because the information can be seen despite of the cross out, we do index this record.

    Hope this answer your question.
