    On the Grantee's prefix, you will mark this blank by using either Ctrl+B (Windows) or Cmd+B (Mac). Since there are no Prefixes, Go to the first record, mark the first one blank, then go back to that field, click on the radio button that's two to the right of the trash can. This will mark all of the Grantee prefix fields blank. Do the same for the Grantor's prefix and both names of corporations/companies.

    As for using the Or when it comes to couples, here's what the PI says:

    If multiple grantees were listed for a single transaction, index information about each one using separate entries in the data entry area.

    If multiple grantors were listed for a single transaction, index information about each one using separate entries in the data entry area.

    Every transaction will have four entries, unless it is an exact duplicate of one you have already indexed; most likely in your case is the names are flipped where the spouse is now listed first, but everything else is the same. Keep an eye out for those since they are exact duplicates. These instructions are found under Project Instructions ---> What To Remember About This Project. Descriptive words such as et. al, attorney/atty or trust/trustee are not indexed.

    Thank you! I did notice some looked the same but I didn't understand why. So they are duplicates - thanks again!
