Full Name Review Spelling

Janelle Thompson

Sometimes I can't read the handwriting so i don't know if the spelling is correct. I don't see or have an option to say unsure like I do when reviewing a single name. What do I do?

In Full Name Review there's a button to click for Unsure in the first (highlight) step. Doing that will take you to the next name. That name will come up for someone else who may be able to read it.

As far as correct spelling goes, the rule for indexing or transcribing has always been "write what you see". The rule for both Quick and Full Name Review is the same - not everyone spells his/her name "correctly" or as you think it should be. Make corrections to spelling when the name in the box has pecked out the wrong key(s)/letters on their keyboard or missed a letter as in Clarence could be misspelled as Clairenc depending on the handwriting and whether or not the original writer dotted all the i's or simply added an extra swirl at the end of a name as in Jan could look like Jane
