In the following project, does a corrected stamp in the left column mean that it is amended even though I don't see anything crossed out or changed on the death certificate?

US, Wisconsin—Death Records, 2005–2013 [Part A][M33J-VYB]

    Cheryl, here are some instructions on this matter that was given to another person about the corrected stamp:

    The Field Help for Amended document Flag does indicate that notes in the left margin may have details about the amendment.    

    If any field was crossed out, if information was replaced, or if the word “amended” was written somewhere on the document, the Amended Document Flag field should be marked "Yes".

     If the margin note said some correction was made, but there is no indication on the document what that correction was, the field should be marked “No”.

    Perhaps the batch has been submitted? I get an error message when I try to open it.

    Cheryl, it is hard to tell since we are not able to open the batch and look at what a "corrected stamp" is It must be submitted already. But here are the project instructions to help make a decision on if it is amended.

    • "Some records may have been amended. The left margin on certificate records may have details about the amendment. If a record has been amended, in the Amended Flag field, select Y for yes. If the record has not been amended, select N for no. A document is considered amended if any field was crossed out, if information was replaced, or if the word "amended" was written somewhere on the document."
