Repost of prior message

Dear Indexers:
There has been a problem that has now been resolved with the ability to post project information, other indexing information and updates in the Stake Indexing Blog.  The problem has now been fixed. New posts and information can now be posted as they becomes available. Thank you for your patience.

Italy Projects

Italy Projects 
Italian Projects—Please remember not to index marriage banns. If an image only contains marriage banns, mark the image as a No Extractable Data Image. If the image includes other records as well as marriage banns, just ignore the marriage banns as you index the other records on the image.

Many cards have information from Nevada (or perhaps other states) the county local can be put in Island field.

Ohio Tax Records

Ohio Tax Records
Currently there is a film being indexed where there is no year at the top of the document.  Some of the documents have no year and others have a range of years put in the right margin such as 1834-35 or 1834.35.  We are to tab past the year field if the year is not written clearly at the top of the document.  In the post processing the event year will be way pointed (added to make the records accurate)

New example on the wiki of cards not to be indexed.
