Quick Name Review

I cannot find any instructions for it. Why one in blue and another in peach highlights? Why are they spaces with no highlights between. How much do I need to correct? Do you want initials with or without a period. If there is part of a name highlighted in blue then another part of the name and a number highlighted, what do I correct? There are no instructions anyplace that I have looked.

@nruegner Here is a help article about Quick Name Review:

Let me know if that helps.

Thank you, but that does not say anything about the blue and peach colors.

I will look into this and get back to you with what I find out.

It looks like the different colors help differentiate when there are two names. For example: If there is only one name highlighted, you will only see blue:

If there is more than one name, the first name will be in blue and the second name will be in gold.

So, @Ashlee C. in your above example, is the correct name Bethene G or just Bethene?

Also Quick Name Review questions (I want to get it right)

What about this? (it's from a West Virginia Deed record saying that Muriel and Wilmer T Halstead bought some property). What is "correct"?
Wilmer Halstead
Wilmer T Halstead
Halstead Wilmer
Halstead Wilmer T

And what about here, when multiple lines are highlighted?

Herbert H or Alice A

And here, the highlighting completely missed the V, what's correct? Alice H or Alice V H or just Alice?

Ashlee C.

I record what is highlighted. This is how I would record your examples.

Example 1: Halstead Wilmer

Example 2: Herbert H Alice A (I agree this one is tricky. But I still record what is highlighted.)

Example 3: Alice H

It is okay that the computer missed some of the letters and names. These will be caught by the Full Name Review later on.
