Hi there: I just lucked into a page from my small Oregon hometown. The AI had butchered street name spellings (handwritten spelling was correct, but very small and spilled into other columns) that I know and can read readily. Can we "request" pages by town? I completed that census page and was excited to go to the "next" page in that district, but when I hit Continue it took me to a page from a different part of the state. Seems it behooves FS to have people who know a small city do the reviewing where possible. FWIW I did a TON of indexing for the 1940 census, and we were able to choose by town; I know we've got a very different can of worms lo these 10 years later. That said, having folks who know e.g. the street names and how AI-butchered spellings should be in actuality (based on handwriting, of course) seems like it'd create a much cleaner and more accurate review. Thanks!
