Just working on the highest completed by percentage projects today for arbitrating.
Hmm should go look at my arbitration review for the day and see if there’s anything to send feedback on…
1940 Census
- just one batch in there and it was all differences in names. Not marking for feedback. Researchers will still find the people.
US Ohio County Marriages
- arbitrators still adding in the father’s surname to the brides as maiden name when it’s not listed anywhere on the record for her. Don't add it in if it’s not listed with her name. Marked feedback.
UK Parish Records
- I’m never sure whether to add in the gender for widow or not? Some arbitrators accept it and some don't. I always do when arbitrating. There’s nothing that I’ve found in the official documents saying you can’t take the gender from it. The only reference to gender in the whole project instructions are “Gender - Do not assume gender based on the given name. Index the gender only if it was specifically recorded or if it can be determined by the relationship, such as a son/daughter or husband/wife. - Gender can be found in unusual places – Example”
- It doesn’t say we can’t use widow / widower. That is a relationship. Relict is as well. It means widow. Anyone wants to state differently then provide me with a link to the instructions stating don’t use widow. I don’t accept word of mouth answers even from support. They’re not supposed to give us answers unless it’s documented and they can provide that link / Knowledge Document number. --- 1 batch I left it in got marked wrong by the arb. The other batch left it out and got marked wrong by the arb.
