New Question (10/27): I'm arbitrating in Norfolk. Several times, the enumerator recorded only Norwich as the birth place. Should I include Norfolk in the Birth County field, or not? It's an obvious thing, but it's not written in the record... When these records are published online, how will searches narrowed by county be impacted by whether the county is included in the indexing / arbritration?

 (New 9/8)   When reporting a batch where the data doesn't match the image, include which segment of the project it is from, such as Essex. This will help us identify the problem and be able to take care of it in a more timely fashion. We really appreciate your help in this matter. Reported Mismatched Films:
