- Making sure the correct family was found.
- Making sure that family has been input correctly.
We've been finding a lot of inputting errors in the data. We think many of these errors are from the extant data, and need to be caught and corrected by you.
Some examples of errors you might see are:
- W in the race for 1850 and 1860. This is rarely input on the manuscript in those decades. So we should be following our rule, "if it's there put it in, if it's not leave it out." So, if it's blank on the manuscript it should be blank on the screens.
- In the early decades, the inputters often missed "Attended School." Please fill it in where appropriate.
- Strange codes in a field. Please replace the codes with the correct information from the manuscript.
