Lessons and Embarrassments Learned when Indexing the 1871 Census for England, etc.

I've found it helpful to add a few often-used internet sources for a project to my browser's links bar. The starting point is usually the British version of Google

http://www.google.co.uk/

It puts the British locations first in the results, and copycat U.S. names far down on the list.

Things I'm learning to avoid embarrassing myself:

1. Check the Wiki updates page for your project each time you start Indexing. It will almost certainly be updated the one time you DON'T check!

2. If you only think you remember the rule for something, confirm it!
