I cannot find any instructions for it. Why one in blue and another in peach highlights? Why are they spaces with no highlights between. How much do I need to correct? Do you want initials with or without a period. If there is part of a name highlighted in blue then another part of the name and a number highlighted, what do I correct? There are no instructions anyplace that I have looked.

    Thank you, but that does not say anything about the blue and peach colors.

    It looks like the different colors help differentiate when there are two names. For example: If there is only one name highlighted, you will only see blue:

    If there is more than one name, the first name will be in blue and the second name will be in gold.

    So, @Ashlee C. in your above example, is the correct name Bethene G or just Bethene?

    Also Quick Name Review questions (I want to get it right)

    What about this? (it's from a West Virginia Deed record saying that Muriel and Wilmer T Halstead bought some property). What is "correct"?
    Wilmer Halstead
    Wilmer T Halstead
    Halstead Wilmer
    Halstead Wilmer T

    And what about here, when multiple lines are highlighted?

    Herbert H or Alice A

    And here, the highlighting completely missed the V, what's correct? Alice H or Alice V H or just Alice?

    I record what is highlighted. This is how I would record your examples.

    Example 1: Halstead Wilmer

    Example 2: Herbert H Alice A (I agree this one is tricky. But I still record what is highlighted.)

    Example 3: Alice H

    It is okay that the computer missed some of the letters and names. These will be caught by the Full Name Review later on.
