Talk:FamilySearch Indexing: US, Texas, Eagle Pass - Arrival Manifests, 1905 - 1953, Project Updates

Updating needed for TX Eagle Pass Arrival Manifests
It would be helpful if there were some project instructions/updates about all the Japanese and Chinese names among these manifests. Yes, there are many, many people who entered the US through Eagle Pass with Spanish names, and the instructions are very good about these. But I think information about the Japanese and Chinese names would be helpful, too. My biggest question is whether the person who filled out each form understood which name was a surname and which was a given name.

The only other problem I've run into with this project so far is regarding the legibility of the handwriting on each card. Some are quite clear; others are terrible; a few are so awful that someone came along later and clarified some of the names. I know there's nothing we can do about legibility of forms that were filled out over 100 years ago, but it might be helpful to acknowledge this issue in any updates for this project.
