California Voting Registers
California Voting Registers (*)
There are several updates today with some examples-these include documents with range of years listed at the top- and clarifications on the residence field.
California Voting Registers
Some batches have two pages, one on top of the other. One page is upside down in relation to the other page. Index the correctly oriented page and then rotate the second page for indexing. While the order of indexing is not critical, for consistency it would be helpful to index the correctly oriented page first and then rotate and index the second.
For arbitrators- if you get a batch where both pages were indexed by both indexers, no matter in what order, please do not send them back to be re-indexed. If you get a batch where one indexer did it one way and one the other, please record match and move the records rather than sending it back for re-indexing.

UK 1871 Census Mismatched Batches
1871 UK Census Mismatched Batches When you are trying to report a mismatched batch, please if at all possible get a share batch number and hold the batch for at least 24 hours to make sure that it is. We are having to check out everyone of these (over 5000) and about 2/3 of them are actually just the example document rather than a mismatch. It is very time consuming. There is a example on the wiki about what a mismatch would look like.

Many index type documents have the bride, groom, marriage date and a page number listed for each couple - there has been a question whether to index this page number-here is the answer:
No, do not index the page number that is by each couple when indexing this kind of page. These are indexes and we only want the page number if there is one at the top (or other location) indicating the number of that one page.
