South Africa, Johannesburg—Cemetery Records, 1840–2019 [M3LC-JQB]

Batch M3LC-JQB.

I am indexing names that start on the first page/image and their information continues onto page 2/image 2. Do I index all the way across the two pages for each person (their name is not on the second page, but it is an opened book) and then record only on image 1 each entry and then mark image 2 as no-extractable data? It has been a while since I have come across images like this.

Thanks

Yes please index as you have stated. You have it down just fine! Thanks!

Hi, The answer to your question is somewhat covered in General Indexing Guidelines:

• If the first record on an image begins on a previous image, don't index it. The record will be indexed as part of the previous batch. Start indexing at the first complete record. 
• If the last record on an image continues to the next image, index the entire record, including what continues to the next image.
• To see the next image while continuing to index information for the current image, do the following:

1. In the top corner of the image window, in the vertical toolbar, click the Reference Images 

 icon.

2. Below the screen on the right, click a thumbnail next to the image you are currently indexing.

3. Index the record while viewing both images at the same time.

4. To exit split screen mode, in the vertical toolbar, click the Reference Images 

 ico

With this in mind and after checking your images I would agree with your conclusion on how to index this batch. The information would all be indexed on the first page and the second page would be marked as No, No Extractable Data.
