Great job on City Directories

As I have completed reviewing 50,000 City Directory batches, I've discovered a lot less errors are being made this month. Well done.

Some small errors being made include:

1. Adding Jr in the Surname or Prefix fields

* Reminder, you are not to include Jr or Sr in any of the fields for this project

2. Incorrectly indexing Surnames

* Reminder, if you see Riley, see also Reilly, you will only list Riley as the Surname

the Surname after the also (in this case) is only listed as a search guide recommendation

for the person using the directory - it IS not an alternate surname for the individual

3. Incorrectly indexing Widows

The project instructions do not want widows listed with the primary spouse to be indexed

ie; Smith, John (wid Mary) — do not index Mary as the spouse

Should be indexed as

Surname: Smith

Given Name: John

Spouse Surname: (CTRL B)

Spouse Given Name: (CTRL B)

ie; Dodge, Mary (widow) if listed separately would be indexed as

Surname: Dodge

Given Name: Mary

Spouse Surname: (CTRL B)

Spouse Given Name: (CTRL B)

Keep up the great work!
