Odds and ends

Here are a few things to remember.

• You should be checking the previously input information for HH0 (the soldier). If it's wrong, please correct it.
• If your soldier doesn't have any children, please try not to spend more than an hour on him.
• Checkers - if the inputter enters exactly what they see on the manuscript, it is never wrong, even if they've typed in a little extra information, such as "Town of." Therefore, you don't need to tell them multiple times that it's a mistake.
• If the soldier has no children, please mark that on your census input log. Most of your are, but a few of you need a little reminding.
• Pay Attention! Double check what you've input before you hit Submit. All it takes is a glance to see if something doesn't look right.
• MAKE SURE YOU ENTER NAMES EXACTLY AS THEY APPEAR ON THE MANUSCRIPT. This is one of the most common errors we find. Please do it correctly.

Here is a change I'd like you to make on your input logs. Some of you already do it, and I want the rest of you to start. Please list all of the children and spouses you will be searching for. Only the children and spouses you find will have household numbers. It should look something like this.
