Mismatched names

The first image looks like a second page to one record. The second page looks like a first page to a another — different — record. The name on the signature line on the first image is a completely different name than the typed name on the second page.

That's because page 2 is usually the Oath of Alligience for the person on the reverse of the document (page 1), which will be in the -1 Reference Image. The first page, which sounds like Image 2, is either the Declaration of Intention or Petition for Naturalization for a different applicant and her/his Oath will be you +1 Reference Image. Both images are indexed. Splitting batches this way is not uncommon. To access the Reference Images, click on the last button on the vertical toolbar.

Please give the batch code, it should look like this example [MQJK-JZ6]

The files for the various naturalization projects have a variable number of pages per person. The films just took them sequentially (for example A1, A2, A3, A4, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, D1, D2, D3, etc.), and then they get assigned to indexing batches two at a time, also sequentially: [A1, A2], [A3, A4], [B1, B2], [C1, C2], [C3, D1], [D2, D3], etc. Therefore, sometimes you get two images for the same person, and sometimes, you get one person's last page and the next person's first page. You determine the indexability of each image the same way in either case, based on the document type.

Thank you. That situation dawned on me 5 minutes after I asked the question. Today is my first day volunteering. Rookie mistake. Thank you for the very speedy and thorough answer.

We're here to answer any questions. I remember what it was like being new, but I didn't have the luxury to ask questions (there was desktop indexing that ended around 2017). Good luck and have some fun.
