You can ignore the name. The family will be picked up when the Enumerator returns. This may have been a note that the Enumerator put in when he got the name from a neighbor.

Or a mailbox. Or whatever.
It is just a note to help the Enumerator go back to the correct place to pick up absences later. It does not refer to an actual person yet, just a household. "Not a person" exception applies.

Hi, I am interested in the volunteer activity to improve names on census forms. Like the other questions posted here, quite a few say "No one at home" or "Vacant" in the name section. The scanner has tried to interpret these words as first and last names. I started by retyping "No one at home" as it appears on the form, but then I wondered whether I should skip these or even delete the words. I'd appreciate your guidance.

@MapleRB Thank you very much for your work. When you are working in Name Review and see encounter something that is not a name, please, click the little "not a person" icon on the bottom right of the screen, that will mark the item as blank. https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/review-names-help
