South Africa, Western Cape—Deceased Estate Files, 1997–2001 [Part K2] [MQP4-48H]

Hi, I am attaching the record that I am reviewing. On the page in my batch is only one child mentioned (John Anthony Errol Forsyth).

He has two other siblings on the split screen, adjacent to my pages. Do I have to index just the child mentioned on my page or add the other two as well?

From the "What to Index" section of the project instructions:

• Index all death notices (titled "Sterfkennis" or "Sterfte-Kennisgewing" in Afrikaans) with the names of the children of the deceased.
• Mark all other images, including death notices without the names of the children of the deceased or any supplementary death records, in Step 1: Images as No, No Extractable Data. A large number of images will need to be marked as No, No Extractable Data.

Image 1 is a death notice, but lists no children, and image 2 is a will, not a death notice, so both of these images should be marked "No, No extractable Data" in Step 1, rendering your question moot.
