    FYI: When I indexed a naturalization project, I was instructed to index only the top document. More times than not, the document underneath it would be the next image in the project--and if it wasn't, so be it.

    Sounds like you had:

    Overlays

    Occasionally you will come across an image that is partially covered by another document on top of it, referred to as an overlay. When this occurs, do the following:

    • If the overlay contains information about a record type being indexed in the project, create a separate record, and index the information in the corresponding fields. If it does not pertain to the record type being indexed in the project, then do not index any information from it.
    • Do not try to index any information underneath the overlay that may be visible.

    When I went to the 2nd image I saw that, too - still I sent the batch back - too many un-numbered entry fields for my addled brain 😎
