    It appears that the person indexing has used names from the reference images to fill in the extra entries. I did check and they come from reference page +2.

    It is a bit sad but you will need to delete these entries. Some one has done work for nothing.

    This particular batch only has 4 entries. Entry #3 is a duplicate of number #2 so should be deleted according to the project instructions:

    When names are exact duplicates, index only the first instance of the name listed. Skip the other exact duplicates and then index the next unique name.

    Entries #6 through #23 will need to be deleted as they are not part of this batch. You can delete this entries using the trash can icon at the top of the page

    I started to delete as you recommended but I ended up returning the batch - It was giving me such a headache. I am legally blind but I index daily - keeps me going but when I start to get a tad frustrated - I call it a momement then come back later!! I am averaging 11K a month so I do what I can. Not bad for a 72 year old homebound senior citizen!!! I hated to burden another but maybe they can see better than me & stay focused longer!! I LOVE indexing!!!!!

    Don't feel bad someone else will be happy to make the corrections.

    I also LOVE indexing. Sounds like you are doing great. Keep up the good work!
