Talk:FamilySearch Indexing: US, County Death Records, FAQ

For the certificate number it says to type only the number after the space. If there is no space, shouldn't all the numbers be typed? I know what the arbitrator is doing - previous documents in the Michigan Death Records have a space after the "225", but some do not. In following your directions as they are written, I understand that all the numbers should be typed if there is no space. Could you clarify this?

I agree. As an indexer and arbitrator, if there is no space (or bold face for the last five numbers) I key and / or accept the full string of numbers. The example shown does reflect early documents with a space, but the instructions are clear to me too. Key ALL that you see, if there is no space.
