Reviewing means looking at a name in a historical document and making sure it's been accurately recorded. If you see a mistake, you fix it.
Is reviewing a name and indexing the same thing?
Indexing is a part of the indexing process. It is a critical step to ensure that names are searchable and easy to find.
Do all of the names need to be reviewed before stopping?
The computer automatically saves your work while you review. You can quit at any time, and your contributions will be saved.
What if I make a mistake? Can I change my response?
If you'd like to change a response, click the Back arrow. With that said, don't let the fear of making a mistake prevent you from reviewing. The computer saves the name that was originally indexed as well as your correction. Both versions of the indexed name can then be used to find the record.
Do I review names of businesses, places, etc., or only proper names of people?
No. If the highlighted name is not the name of a person, click Not a person, and continue reviewing.
What if the name is a note like "Vacant" or "No one is at home"?
Report it as an error. At the bottom of the page, click Not a person.
