Jamaica Deaths and Marriages

[7/23/2013 10:51:41 AM]
 Jamaica Deaths and Marriages- there is an update on the wiki saying to mark the death field as blank if it is unreadable rather than using the registration date.  On part C the rules have changed and we would use the registration date if the death date is unreadable.  This could cause some interesting arbitration situations as what is unreadable to one, may not be to another.  We will do the best we can.  The update is going to be removed.

Philippines Batches

Philippines- when a register is cut into two segments, with the parent's name in one batch and the child's in another- index the information in the batch that you have-it will be combined later.

Indexing and MAC computers

Indexers  some important information: We do not support Mac OS 10.5 or previous. Said differently, we require Mac OS 10.6 or later to use indexing.
