What record is this?
I just started working on the South Africa—Dutch Reformed Church Registers, 1660–1970 [Part C] project. I've translated most of it with the help of "Google Translate," but I can't seem to figure out what kind of record it is. Its seems to me that the one I'm working on appears to be a transfer record, like immigration or something like that. Any advice?

I would consider it to be a church membership record.

Looking at one of the images in this project, it seems to be mainly a register of members of a congregation of the Dutch Reformed Church who have transferred from another congregation of the DR Church, and also contains a few who have been introduced as (possibly new) members of that congregation.

@Joseph Lloyd Costner can you share the batch code [XXXX-XXX] that comes after the project title?

Two comments were removed for rudeness and three more were removed because they were not needed once the violations were gone. (See the Code of Conduct.) Please reach out if I can be on any more help.

To MaileLoveland, moderator:
I love the indexing work, and have worked on South Africa records exclusively for four years, but I am not willing to spend time doing duplicate batches, and there are many of them in the Dutch Reformed Church records parts C and D. My wife served as a missionary for a couple of years with the indexing program, and some of the time her job was to eliminate duplicate images to make sure the indexers and reviewers didn't have to deal with wasting their time on doing duplicate work. Can anything be done about it? Have they stopped the work of removing duplicates before turning the work over to the indexers/reviewers?
