I am indexing Us, New York, erie county index to land records. I've done these types of records before but have never run into this before. The grantee is listed as Aff. of title and the description says afidavit. Here is a screen shot:

My question is what do I put in the Grantee information? Mark them all blank? Or.....?

Thanks!

    Hi Diane. The best way to get an answer to your question is to share the batch rather than give a screen shot. People are more apt to answer when they can read the instructions and field helps. We really aren't allowed to take screen shots of these records and post them per the agreements with FamilySearch.

    Sharing a batch can be accomplished by clicking on the 3rd icon from the right and following the instructions, copying and pasting the URL, or copying and pasting the project title with the batch code that follows.

    Hi Diane. I have looked at the project instructions for this project and under the instructions for the "Grantee" it states: "If a corporation or organization name was not recorded or was written as a variation of the word "unknown," press Ctrl+B to mark this field blank." Because the Aff. of Title is not a corporation or organization but a document, I believe that it should be marked as blank. I hope that this helps. Thank you so much for indexing these records!
