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.
