Incorrect Project Instructions - Can Someone Correct This?

Angelica77

I noticed some huge errors while going over the project instructions for the project titled: "Belgie, Antwerpen - Burgerllijke Stand, 1851-1910 [Deel G]." On the example image that they use to show indexers and reviewers how to index a batch, they have the father listed as the child and the child as the father. It clearly states that it is the father appearing to report the birth and show the child. They even list his profession (landbbouwer) and date of birth right after his name. Then the wife is mentioned further down in the paragraph and then at the bottom the child is mentioned. The child was the three given names and the last name was not mentioned next to his name. It clearly states that he was given the "voornamen" which means name or names before a surname. Not only did they confuse the two but they actually gave the father the last name which is one of the son's given names. I hope someone sees this post and can correct this error so people don't end up being confused and end up doing it wrong. I included a picture. Thanks.

Wow. Good catch!

By the way, many thanks for your indexing work. I have been resisting the urge to attach records from that collection in advance of indexing. Now I know the collection is coming soon.

No problem 😊. I love doing this. I was just looking around for some new projects to do. I liked this one and just happened to notice it when I read the project instructions. Thanks for taking care of it. Would have sent an email but noticed there isn't one listed anymore.

Thank you for reporting the problem, can you please provide the batch code or batch number of the project where the problem with he project Instructions is?

Thank you.

Sure, it was [MMT9-21Y]. I completed it and submitted it though. Hopefully you can still access it.

For those with this issue please hold your batch until we have an answer on how to do these.

Just opened a batch to review that has that issue. Will go ahead and review it but won't submit it until the last day that becomes due. That should give you plenty of time. The batch number is [MMT9-C8C]. I called as well on this issue so if it is already corrected when you get to it that may be why. Thanks.
