Indexing Issue - First Timer

ryansjarvis · October 4, 2022

Hey Everyone

I am new to the indexing community on Family Search and am having a few issues with indexing an american marriage certificate.

I have input all the details from the certificate, however their is no indication of the ages of the parties who have married. The form is forcing me to enter an age.

I have also added a blank entry in error and am unsure how to remove it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Ryan

For the Age Field if you click the purple ? circle (Field Help) - it should give instruction on what to enter if there is no Age listed (usually Ctrl + B or Cmd + B to enter <BLANK>).

As far as changing the <BLANK> field to something just type what you would like to enter in that field.

If you would like someone to take a look at the batch - you might be able to share it - in the Help menu> Share Batch (copy the batch code and post that here).

Hopefully that helps.
