If you go to this link you can see examples of what is described as Name Review and Family Review in terms of the 1950 US Census.

I do not understand. What is the difference in name review and family review?

We can only do NAME REVIEW right now (see orange button); all the others are grayed out: not ready yet.

I know, but I was doing it earlier and still would like clarification

Have a similar question.

Since it is possible to do name changes during family review, it serves as a second review on names. Accurate names helps family review go faster.

What I don’t get is indexing all the minutiae with Family Review. Especially all the code number fields. Slows that process way down! Let the computer index those fields and if they are not accurate, then let people look up the original image!

Really don’t like the problems with family review not keeping track of the next line properly when it gets confused. Also don’t like not being able to back up to previous families if an error is discovered late.

Need some help to speed up family review or this will take way too long to index properly!
