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
