Geniune question, did you check out the Transcribers' Knowledge Base? http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/vol_faq.html#6g Allan Raymond ----- Original Message ----- From: "Graham Chamberlain" <gc@katiandgraham.com> To: <FreeBMD-Admins-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: 15 September 2005 22:34 Subject: (Another) Handwritten Addition in Scan I am transcribing 1884, June Marriages, page 219. At the bottom of column 2 there is a handwritten entry commencing '________ Alice'; I can't decipher the second name or initial; the district & volume looks like Leyburn, 9d; the page number looks as if it starts 16 with a third illegible digit. However, there seems to be no clear mark in the typewritten text to indicate where it should be inserted and there are a number of different family names in the column. There could be a mark below Alice Robins (a short 'squiggly' line) but it could also be some dirt on the original. If a mark can not be identified how should such an addition be dealt with? best wishes to all Graham
