Batches I’m working on tonight

To contact us Click HERE

Working on some Ghana Western Region Ahanta Census 1982-1984 batches tonight along with whatever else comes up highest priority for arbitrating in the beginner level. Got sick of all the marriage projects and everything else that was in the Intermediate / Advanced levels so I’m focusing on beginner projects.

There’s a lot of these batches where the indexers are not adding in the extra records. These batches average 4 images per batch and average about 4 names (records) per image.

The birth country field is only supposed to be filled in IF where it says Outside Ghana, specify country is filled in. We are not to be indexing Ghana in this spot if that’s where they live.

NY Marriage Licenses Blank Certificate of Consent

To contact us Click HERE

I also posted this in the Library of FamilySearch Indexing Information but figured it should be posted here for those of you who don’t go there. if you do go there you can find it here

http://libraryoffamilysearchindexinfo.freeforums.org/ny-marriage-licenses-blank-certificate-of-consent-t718.html

The following certificate should be marked Blank and not No Extractable Data.

As per the Basic Indexing Guidelines:


Blank Image:
The image is blank or is a form with no information filled in. (The header at the top of the form may have some information, but the image has no records to index.) On the warning message, click Yes. This will mark all the fields with “<blank>.” If there is not another image to index, submit the batch. (Do not return the batch.)

No Extractable Data:
The image contains extra information added by the camera operator, such as title boards or markers, or other information included with the documents, such as a table of contents. The image does not have any records for you to index. This would include an index page, with names and page numbers, or pages with information that is not requested. After selecting this option, on the warning message, click Yes. However, if an index includes vital information, such as names, dates, and places, mark the Image Type as Normal, index what you can see, and mark the missing required fields blank. Finish indexing other images, and then submit the batch. (Do not return the batch.)
https://help.familysearch.org/help/viewdocument?documentId=1007981&sliceId=&userQuery=blank+vs+no+extractable+data

Also found this on the FamilySearch Blog:

https://familysearch.org/blog/en/image-type-choose

Are you worried about mislabeling?
If the image is marked Blank or No Extractable Data by both indexers, it will be sent back to the Indexing Operations team for a quality check to make sure the image was marked correctly.

Marine Corps: Born in a bar

To contact us Click HERE
U.S. Marines Birthplace


The U.S. Marine Corps celebrates its birthday on November 10, 1775, the day the Second Continental Congress passed the Continental Marine Act of 1775, ordering, “That two battalions of Marines be raised…” The Continental Marines disbanded in 1783, and was formally reestablished in 1798. The first Marines enlisted at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia, which is considered the birthplace of the Marine Corps. mentalfloss 

Tun Tavern is where the Marine Corps held its first recruitment drive during the american Revolution. 



 In the year 1685, Samuel Carpenter built a huge "brew house" in Philadelphia.  He located this tavern on the waterfront at the corner of Water Street and Tun Alley.  The old English word tun means a cask, barrel, or keg of beer.  So, with his new beer tavern on Tun Alley, Carpenter elected to christen the new waterfront brewery with a logical name, Tun Tavern. In 1756 Col. Benjamin Franklin organized the Pennsylvania Militia.  He used Tun Tavern as a gathering place to recruit a regiment of soldiers to go into battle against the Indian uprisings that were plaguing the American colonies.  George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and the Continental Congress later met in Tun Tavern as the American colonies prepared for independence from the English Crown.  On November 10, 1775, the Continental Congress commissioned Samuel Nicholas to raise two Battalions of Marines.  That very day, Nicholas set up shop in Tun Tavern.  He appointed Robert Mullan, then the proprietor of the tavern, to the job of chief Marine Recruiter -- serving, of course, from his place of business at Tun Tavern.  Prospective recruits flocked to the tavern, lured by (1) cold beer and (2) the opportunity to serve in the new Corps of Marines.  So, yes, the U.S. Marine Corps was indeed born in Tun Tavern.  Needless to say, both the Marine Corps and the tavern thrived during this new relationship. USMC Heritage
Tun Tavern burned down in 1781, near the end of the American Revolution.
All Things Masonic



 The National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, Virginia contains a Tun Tavern-themed restaurant with a lunch menu, alcoholic beverages, and bread pudding. The decor of the tun tavern restaurant features a large painting depicting famous Marines from the founding of the corps to the present day.
Roaming the Planet:: The museum’s Tun Tavern captures the warmth of the original and features food inspired by the Colonial era.

There is even a Tun Tavern Marines Motorcycle Riding Club.
Tun Tavern Marines


But then again:
From the book, The Marine Corps Story, by J.Robert Moskin, 1992, Little, Brown and Company"...The two battalions were never raised; but onNovember 28, the Congress commissioned thirty-twoyear old Capt. Samuel Nicholas, a PhiladelphiaQuaker, and innkeeper and a blacksmith's son, asthe first Marine officer. A hundred volunteers,recruited in Rhode Island, arrived atPhiladelphia by December 5...probably signed upin Robert Mullan's Tun Tavern."
And, from the book, The United States Marines AHistory, by Edwin Howard Simmons. 1998, NavalInstitute Press"...According to legend, the recruiting redezvouswas Tun Tavern, but it is more likely that it wasthe Conestoga Wagon, a tavern owned by theNicholas family on Market Street between Fourthand Fifth Streets."
And, from the book, Marine Corps Book Of Lists,Albert A. Nofi, 1999, Combined Publishing"...Eight Hoary Old Marine Corps Legends That AreNot True. 1. The first Marine recruiting stationwas established in Tun Tavern, in Philadelphia,the proprietor of which was so adept at securingrecruits, by liberally plying them with drink,that he was made a captain in the Corps. Alas for"romance," the story is untrue. It probably gotits start from the fact that Samuel Nicholas,effectively the first Marine Commandant, actuallydid own a tavern in Philadelphia, the ConestogaWagon, which apparently served as hisheadquarters for a time. However the owner of theTun Tavern did become a Marine officer, about ayear after the creation of the Corps, whichprobably gave rise to the legend. Legends and Myths Of The Corps

Well this will be the last post of this blog. I'm finding myself too busy with work and keeping up with the Library and I've been thinking of quitting this blog for awhile now. Doesn't mean I'm not blogging about indexing. I'm just going to incorporate that part into my personal blog located at http://www.thehatters.blogspot.com
So come follow that blog instead. Indexing isn't the only thing I blog about there. Everyday things as well. I've been neglecting that blog and feel I'd be better off incorporating the two and that way those days I can't blog about something I've done that day nothing else it'll be about indexing.

I'm not going to be deleting this blog. I'm going to be leaving it up for reference. If you've got questions please post on my other blog or goto http://libraryoffamilysearchindexinfo.freeforums.org/index.php and join us there and post your questions.

Indexing for October 18 2012

To contact us Click HERE

We decided to stay home from work at the base today cause it’s been really slow during the week while the soldiers are off “playing” on the field right now.

Arbitrated a few Canada Ontario Marriages earlier today and I was finding the indexers marking the Marriage Licenses as NED. Ever since this part of the project came up for us to index the rule has been to index everything. So someone is indexing these who worked on the first part of the project and not reading the updates and rules.

Went on to work on some of the highest priority batches for arbitrating for me (New York Passenger Lists 1925-1942 Part F) and nothing has changed yet. Indexers still not removing extra lines, not indexing the crossed out lines, not indexing the middle initials (that had to be a new indexer, I hope)…

I think after these 10 batches I’ll move on to the projects that are the lowest percentage completed. Usually means they’re behind on arbitration.

3rd last batch of these New York ones… how hard is it to look at the whole image and add in extra records past 10? If you don’t know how then read Setting The Number of Records.

5 projects went 100% within last 2 days

To contact us Click HERE

Nothing back yet for the indexing I’ve done still. The Project Percentages spreadsheet was updated again today. Did I mention earlier that I added in the other language projects under their own tabs? So pretty much all projects are on the spreadsheet.

Couple more members added to the Library of FamilySearch Indexing Information forums today as well. Welcome!

We’ve added a share batch area there after some of the members requested it. We also have a General Chit-Chat area that can be used for any kind of chatting.

Noticed that the following projects went 100% in the last couple days:

- US (Community Project) Index to Passenger Lists at Atlantic and Gulf Coasts 1820-1874

- US (Community Project) Pennsylvania Philadelphia Passenger Lists 1800–1882 Part A

- US Indiana Parke County Marriages 1811-1959

- US Ohio WWI Draft Registration Cards 1917–1918 Part 3A

- Italia (Antenati Italiani), Napoli, Quartiere S. Ferdinando—Atti di Morte, 1809–1865

Assuming Surnames when Not Listed

To contact us Click HERE
Saw this question come up...

"K, so on the Derbyshire PR if is says " Thomas Hinkley son of John " can I put Hinkley for John's SN too? Also if it says "Thomas son of John Jones and his wife Helen" can I give her a SN or not?"

No putting Hinkley as John's Surname is assuming.
No putting Jones as Helen's surname is assuming.
The instructions state not to do this. Reread the instructions.

Canada Ontario Marriages Indexing Project Reminder

To contact us Click HERE
I posted this on the other social media sites but forgot to post this here for those of you who only read the blog. If you are on Twitter, Facebook or Google+ please reshare (buttons below post) with those who maybe don't see this but index as well. I posted this reminder cause this project is coming up highest priority for arbitration right now for me.

Please remember with the Canada Ontario Marriages:
- Marriage Licenses, Banns, consents to be married are all to be indexed not marked as NED.
- With the licenses the county is not usually recorded on them. Ont at the bottom with the town name is the province abbreviation.
- Marriage banns the date used is at the top not the filing date at the bottom. The place for the marriage is in the middle where is says the church they were married in is located at....
- Marriage certificates can have upto 5 spots for the bride's / groom's names. Watch carefully and use "or" in between names when different variations occur.

Okay I'm changing this up a little. I figured out how to embed a Google Spreadsheet into the forums and so I figured why not embed it here too? That way everyday that I update the spreadsheet it'll update both places automatically. Updated this to add that I'm adding in all languages.

Sorry forgot to include the original URL again was thinking about this yesterday and then Family Searcher replied about the link so here it is https://indexing.familysearch.org/rss?listType=projectspage

Batches Done Today

To contact us Click HERE

Still no indexing batches back from arbitration today.

Batches I’ve arbitrated today:

US (Community Project) New York Passenger Lists 1925-1942 

  • 3 batches where indexers didn’t check the whole image for more than 10 records. Sent back to be completed. If you’re a group leader or Stake Indexing Director please teach your indexers how to scroll around the screen and check for other records. Teach them how to add in additional records as well.
  • 1 batch where I had to mark it NED for both indexers. It was a list of the crew. We don’t index crew lists.
  • Do not index titles in with the given names.
  • Do not index the date in with the country of birth / nationality fields
  • Index the crossed out lines

To contact us Click HERE

Nothing has come back from what I’ve indexed again today.

Here’s what I’ve arbitrated:

US (Community Project) New York Passenger Lists 1925-1942

  • Sent at least 7 batches back now to be finished by another indexer.
  • Indexer not indexing the crossed out information. We are to be indexing the crossed out names
  • 2 batches now. Lists of crew members whether alien or US are not to be indexed. They are NED.
  • 2 batches now had to fix cause they indexed them. We are not to be indexing the “Record of Aliens Held For Special Inquiry” images. “The names of these passengers, who were detained after arrival, would typically appear on a normal passenger list and would be indexed with the image of that list. Do not index lists of detained
    passengers.” – Project Presentation https://www.familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/images/8/8d/Passenger_How_To.pdf

Things Indexers and Arbitrators are doing WRONG:
 
  • Not indexing the crossed out lines. By us indexing these crossed out lines the researchers will be able to track their ancestors even though most of them didn’t arrive at the passenger list destination.
  • Indexing the Nationality column when there is a Birth Country column. We are to be indexing from the Birth Column first and then if there’s nothing in that column or there is no column labelled that then we are to be indexing from the Nationality column.
  • Not indexing lines past line 10. Check the whole image for records past #10. If there are more than 10 records on the image then Use Alt+T and then choose “Records per Image” and change that number to the number of records on the image.
  • Do not index the page labelled “STATES IMMIGRATION OFFICER AT PORT OF ARRIVAL”. It’s the second page of a register and it’s in the examples as a page that we are to be marking No Extractable Data (NED). https://indexing.familysearch.org/projtab/viewProject.jsf?url=USNewYorkPassengerLists19251942PartC/examples/Example41.html
  • Affidavits are to be indexed as No Extractable Data (NED). https://indexing.familysearch.org/projtab/viewProject.jsf?url=USNewYorkPassengerLists19251942PartC/examples/Example40.html

#FamilySearch Indexing: Country of Birth or Nationality for Community Projects:The change in this field makes it easier to index.  Type what you see taking the information first from the birth column or field on the document and then, if no information is recorded there, index exactly what is recorded in the nationality column or field.  You may see localities such as Philadelphia Pa, Panama Canal, etc.  Index them exactly as they are recorded.
Name Changes - Examples
- Index the names of passengers only. Do not index any other names, such as the names of the crew, ship owner, shipmaster, customs agent, surgeon, or individuals who shipped materials.  If an image does not include the names of passengers, mark it as a No Extractable Data Image.
"#FamilySearch #Indexing update:  Passenger lists (particularly Louisiana) Different column heading- it states:” If native of United States insular possession or if native of United States give date and place of birth”.These are to be indexed as United States in the Country of Birth or Nationality field."  https://plus.google.com/u/0/108092761844142144972/posts/g3FPjVDXKfc    Note the word “If.” If a state or possession of the United States was listed, please index the field as United States for each entry. If another locality was listed, please index the locality, following the rules in the field help.  Presentation on this http://sn.im/24kxjxa
- Affidavits - are not indexed  
- No Ship Name / Date - Some partial manifests have no ship name or date, please go ahead and still index them.  Waypointing will resolve this problem when researchers use the search engine.
- Sex  
     - Some documents do not list gender but leave the field blank until the gender changes.  If you can determine the intent was to “ditto” the gender then enter the gender from the field above.  
     - Gender can be taken from contextual information such as titles and terms such as Mr, Mrs and Miss.
     - Additional helps Page Updated -  Q.  Should I fill in the gender for Mrs Smith if it is not recorded?  A.  Yes, if the gender isn't specifically recorded,  contextual information such as titles and terms. In this case, the title "Mrs" indicates the gender is female.

If city, town or village are recorded with a township name then index the city, town or village name not the township. 
      • State - When a state is on the document but there is no state field for the project, do not enter the state in any other field.
      • Field Helps The certificate number often follows other numbers, separated by a space. It is usually the larger of the numbers. Index the certificate number only, not the preceding digits. If you need help determining the certificate number, it may help to look at the previous or next image.  Example: 225 11039  Only index 11039

      My Day’s Review of Indexing / Arbitrating for #FamilySearch September 12, 2012

      To contact us Click HERE

      Not sure what I’m going to be working on from this point on. So far today the focus is UK Derbyshire Parish Records since it’s the highest percentage complete of the English projects that are non-US. I tend to work on the projects that have the highest percentage complete that way I’m helping get those projects out quicker to the researchers who need them. Now of course that’s when I get batches that I can read from this project! I usually stick to anything post 1700s. No I don’t work on the Latin ones. I think that new rule for them is stupid. We’re not supposed to be interpreting (wrong wording?) the documents just transcribing them. Therefore we shouldn’t be removing any wording / letters from names etc.

      Had a couple of batches that i arbitrated from this project today that indexers need to check the whole image for records. There were 4 records for the marriages instead of the standard 2 today. I’m sitting at the base for work so I’m working offline right now (no internet here) so instead of sending them back to be finished by another indexer I finished them off making sure to double check everything against the other indexer. If I was at home with internet I would have sent them back to be finished. I also know that you’d rather see what you’ve done wrong through the arbitration review instead of us arbitrators sending batches back.

      For these parish record projects…

      - do not index a gender unless it specifically states Female / Male or Daughter / Son / Wife. We do not index gender from the term Widow either.

      - do not expand people’s names if they are abbreviated. Willm is not to be expanded to William. Type what you see.

      Ships That are Not in the Lookup Lists for Passenger Projects

      To contact us Click HERE

      These are a list of ship names in alphabetical order that we have found are not in the lookup lists for all the passenger list projects.

      I've looked these up and verified that they did or do still exist.  This will be updated as I find more.

      List of sites to use to verify the ships do / did exist.  If you've got a good one not on the list please let me know.

      This one from Elmer:

      "The best site is the Steve Morse site. In the left hand menu bar, hover your mouse over "Other Ports" and then choose the Port name and "Ship Lists" http://stevemorse.org
      There you can choose the time period you want for that port, and it will list all the ships that arrived for that time period for that port.
      You do not have to enter anything for Ship name.. Just enter the time period, and it will list ALL ships for that time period."

      US Indiana WWI Draft Registration Cards 1917-1918 Part 3

      To contact us Click HERE

      Main Project Page: http://sn.im/24ec5o4

      Project Updates Page: http://sn.im/24ec5kd

      Things That You Need to Remember:

      • When the card says declarant, mark the field <Blank> unless there is a nation of citizenship listed on the card.
      • You may download batches that are an index. They contain only a name and a page number. These would be marked as No Extractable Data and submitted.
      • "Native Born" should be indexed as United States
      • (Mar 9) - States other than the state in the project name are included. Please index them anyway.
      • Citizenship for those on Indian Reservations- Enter United States as they are "wards" of the US.
      • Q. How is Washington DC indexed?  A. Washington is entered in the city field and District of Columbia is entered in the state field.
      • Q. Can an individual’s place of citizenship be used for birth country? A. The field helps tell us if the person was “native born (natural born)” it should be indexed as United States. However, if another country was listed as the country of citizenship, that should not be used as the country of birth. A person can be a citizen of a country other than his/her birth country.
      • I know this is a positive group and this will fall on well-educated ears but would the arbitrators looking at WW1 drafts please remember that just because a person declares he is a citizen of country X does not mean that he was born there!
      • On some of the registration cards, some towns like Mt. Pleasant, the Mt. is never spelled out. It is always listed as Mt, no period. There are more such examples all over. 
      • the middle name should be indexed, not left off.
      • It needs to be specified here that if it says "Natural Born" or "Native Born," you mark US as the country of birth. But I'm getting people marking the US as the country of birth if it's marked "Naturalized Citizen," which means they were born in another country, then came here and became citizens.
      • NOT ALL lookup lists are complete.
