US, New York, North Country—Index to Land Records, Grantees, 1630–1975 [Part B]
I am reviewing this record and need a clarification concerning what the original author of this document meant when he put "same" in the column. Looking at the yellow ruler in the document page I have included, does "same" refer to Issac S (found two rows up) or Sarah A (one row up)? You will notice this occurs frequently in this document and the indexer has typed in the name from the previous row. But because the original author has put it in a specific column it suggests that maybe the name should come from that column. What do you think? Thank you.

Hi @judithannreese1 . "Same" means "Ditto," which is "repeat the information above." For example. He tells us to repeat the Surname Normander and use it for Sarah A in the first case. In the second case, he's telling us to repeat the Given Names Isaac S. and repeat the Surname Normander -- as the Grantees for those two transactions. It means what I've typed in red below.
