I am reviewing Boston Tax Records. Batch M31N-C32.
The name is Drummey Catherine then the line under it says
"See Dromey " Should it be entered as " Drummey or Dromey" or "Drummey see Dromey" or do I just enter Drummey and ignore the other spelling of "Dromey?

My vote: "Drummey Or Dromey"

Hi, Carol Egley
I have also been working on this project and have found several situations similar to the following example.
Surname was Neal underneath see Neil further down the page was the group with the surname Neil. The given names for the two groups were not the same.
This led me to believe that the see surname directive was to help those looking for a certain name, that the name could possibly be listed under a different spelling. For this reason I have been indexing just the surname shown first.
I hope I am indexing these correctly.
