do I need to put something in Suffix?

Hi,

You will need to read the project instructions to get complete clarity on which fields are required. You do not mention which batch you are indexing so I can't advise further. However, with most batching I've indexed there has been no suffix listed and so I have just marked this field as blank. (Ctrl + B).

Thanks for the great work you are doing with your indexing.

Yes, please share your batch. Go to help>Share batch and then copy the link and paste it here.

It seems I didn't understand what you were asking. I agree that if there is a box for a suffix and no suffix is recorded for the individual, then you need to mark it <blank>.

Field Helps - the purple question mark - provides instructions for the Suffix box :

Using the most appropriate term from the drop-down list, type the suffix according to what was indicated in the document. (Click the down arrow at the right of the entry field to see the drop-down list.)

If more than 1 name suffix was given, select Other.

If a suffix was not recorded, press Ctrl+B to mark this field blank.

Thank you indexing these precious records 😎
