Hazel   You will find the correct aprroach to dealing with this problem is shown in our  Transcribers' Knowledge Base (TKB) at http://www.freebmd.org.uk/vol_faq.html .   Q&A 6 (d) refers which mentions:   If the original field is not crossed out, transcribe the line twice, once with the original field value and once with the amendment. After the first entry add a comment such as: #COMMENT(2) original <fieldname> of <orginalvalue> had a handwritten amendment of <newvalue> where <fieldname> is the name of the field (surname, page number, etc.), <originalvalue> is the original value of the field and <newvalue> the amendment. (This form of comment causes the comment to be attached to both entries.)   Allan Raymond FreeBMD Coordinator of Syndicates   --- On Mon, 17/10/11, Hazel Kingston <hazelkingston@gmail.com> wrote: From: Hazel Kingston <hazelkingston@gmail.com> Subject: Too much info for page no. column To: FreeBMD-Admins@rootsweb.com Date: Monday, 17 October, 2011, 7:27 I have a hand-written page number (1033/S) added to typed number 642.

Is there a better or alternative way of entering this?
