Project Helps, Updates and Additional Helps Questions and Answers:

Index Page #1 as NORMAL.  These pages are marked "Registration Affidavit of Alien Enemy" or "Registration Affidavit of Alien Female"

We are to be indexing information from Page #2 onto the record for Page #1 – see next point

When indexing Page #1 I’ve found it easiest to open the Previous / Next Image Viewer (make sure it’s on Next Image) and index the information from Page #2 as I’m indexing Page #1

Mark all other pages NED on their own records; most I’ve indexed have had every second record as NED

Most batches the individuals I’ve noticed are in alphabetical order.  This should help determining the surname.  Plus there is usually 3 or more spots to find the individual’s name.  If in doubt make sure and check the individual’s name listed on the right hand side of the image that is sideways and usually typed.

With the multiple spellings of names make sure you are using all of the versions separated by “or”

Make sure to include the maiden name of female individuals before their married name in the surname field.

Mother’s and Father’s names can be in different spots depending on whether the original person is female or male.  Female forms they are on the 2nd page and Male forms they are at the bottom of 1st page.

Spouse’s name can be found in different spots as well.  Female forms it’s down by the Female’s birth date.  Male forms it’s on the top of 2nd page.
