I am doing handwritten 1845 Dec births. The tifs I am currently assigned - each image represents one physical page in a record somewhere (!) - are numbered .0921 to .0930 whereas on the pages themselves there is a handwritten number - top right - which are 221 to 230 So - which page number should one enter in the +PAGE line? Keith

Keith For scan pages use the image number. Please see our "Transcribing Scanned Source" Web Page at: http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/scan-source2.html which quotes: "Note that whilst the page number used by FreeBMD is often the same as the page number used on the original index page, many index pages are not numbered, and in some cases the numbering of the image files may not match the originals. In such cases, your allocations and file naming should match the file name, not the original page name" Anyone transcribing from scans are encouraged to have a look at the above Web Page, which presumably they should be doing when they down load their actual scans?
