Batch [M3T4-NRV] I reviewed it all but can someone clarify how to do the Given names and Su Surnames? I intend to return it because it is so confusing.

    I looked at the reference pages and at the first pages in this group. This page seems to be a lot more difficult than some of the others.

    The first column is the surname and the second column is the given name. I read the first persons name as Ngadi Nomatemba, Umalunga. The M is crossed out and it is replaced with what appears to be an N. This would fit as the rest of the names on the page start with N and the index is alphabetical. The only thing I would change in what you have done is the second letter in Nomatemba. I believe it is an o not a d. If you look at other D's on the page they are all very distinctive. This looks more like the o in North.

    It looks like you have it figured out. The surname for the first four would all be the same.

    hope this helps
