Thank you for reading my question.

I wanted to get a second opinion about what to put for the REVIEW of line 32. Line 32 is under last name Wood.

The share batch code is;

https://www.familysearch.org/indexing/batch/4350c540-63f1-4fbc-846a-f6b80781fa60

Or….

MQR4-FG3

Line 32 it has 2 names in parenthesis. They are not spouse names but appear to be business partners. Which you can tell by seeing the business listing near that line.

How should this line be changed? What do you suggest?

Thank you.

    Flynn & Wood is a business, which is not indexed. You can see that listing directly below Wm A Flynn (the name needs to be Wm A).

    Looks like the name of his company. Ignore it. The indexer spelled out William on two lines when it should be Wm, a few lines down. We don't expand abbreviations of person names.

    @russellporter1 Line 35 needs to be changed to read Wm A, likewise any given names such as Thos, Jos, Jas, etc. should be indexed exactly as written

    Line 32 looks like a business partnership, not individual names, so it shouldn’t be indexed. Abbreviations like "Wm" should stay as they are for accuracy.
