Talk:FamilySearch Indexing: US, Maine—Nathan Hale Cemetery Collection, 1780–1980, Project Updates

Possible Duplication
In a similar project, Faylene Hutton Cemetery collection, the project instructions say not to index the names listed under the primary individual since they each have their own card and will be indexed under that card as the primary. In the Nathan Hale Cemetery Collection, the cards are very similar and even bear the same instructions stating the "X" next to the names indicates there is a separate card for the listed individual. By indexing these names, won't we be creating duplicate entries in the index?

Pete Codella ''Project instructions appear to have been changed to extract only the primary person. Thanks

Cemetery
Click here for examples of how to index this project.

Type the name of the cemetery listed on the record. If the cemetery name has been misspelled or abbreviated and you know the correct cemetery name, spell out the name as it should be written. Otherwise, type the cemetery name as it was written by the transcriber.

If the transcriber included “Cemetery” or “Cem” as part of the cemetery name, index the field with the expanded name. For example, if the transcriber entered the cemetery name as “Oak Grove Cem”, the field would be indexed as Oak Grove Cemetery.

Do not index plot information or numbers with the cemetery name. Do not index numbers or punctuation, except hyphens and apostrophes when they were written on the document as part of the name.

If no cemetery was recorded or was written as a variation of the word "unknown," press Tab to skip this field.

Examples for Cemetery names
This link for examples of indexed cemetery names should be added to this project update page: "For help on indexing the Cemetery field, see this new project resource." Link didn't copy, so here it is: https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/images/8/8a/Cemetery_And_Dual_Town_Names.pdf

Came from a very similar Wiki page, only difference is the final date "-1990" - wonder if these are duplicates? https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/FamilySearch_Indexing:_US,_Maine%E2%80%94Faylene_Hutton_Cemetery_Collection,_1780%E2%80%931990,_ProjectPete_Updates Pete Codella
