okay, so I'm pretty sure that I should index this info but I wanted to make sure.

the information and the name of one of the people on this census was crossed out, should I still index it?

Thanks for your willingness to help and clarify!


(here is the link to the batch if you want to look and check. the name I'm talking about is on row 2)

    Yes, the crossed out name should be indexed. This falls under the General Indexing Guidelines for Crossed Out, Corrected, Canceled, or Void Information: 

    • When information was crossed out, was not replaced, and can be read, type the crossed-out information.

    You can read more about this under the General Indexing Guidelines section of the project instructions.
