I am currently indexing South Africa, Johannesburg—Cemetery Records, 1942–2020 [Part F][MQ3J-YX2] and for one image it has the normal cemetery records for twins, the next image has a person requesting permission to change the previous gravestone. It doesnt have any new information, it just is requesting permission to change the gravestone. How should I index this image or should I put it as no extractable data?

    Hi, This project has many different forms to review and it is a bit difficult to decide what to do. The project instructions do state:

    Index all grave applications, registers of persons buried or cremated, and all records that refer to a deceased person.

    Image #2 does refer to 2 deceased persons and it is not a duplicate of image #1 so I would index it.

    The instructions also include this note about dates:

    • The issue date or burial order date may be indexed as the burial date.

    Our job is to help lead researchers to the paperwork, their job is to figure out the details.

    Hope this is helpful🙂
