Hello Keith Using your example, 1924B3M0338, here's what I's suggest. A #COMMENT has to go directly underneath the first entry to which you want it attached, so you'd enter the first crossed-through line, then the #COMMENT(2), followed by the second crossed-through line. You can combine the two things you need to mention about these entries -- that they're crossed through and that they have alternative mother's names -- in the one #COMMENT: McCarthy Mary J O'Brian Cardiff,11a See S'28 #COMMENT(2) Entry reads O'Brian or Bryant for mother's name and entry crossed through McCarthy Mary J Bryant Cardiff,11a See S'28 [I'd avoid phrases such as "above two entries" because you want the comment to make sense if a searcher is looking at a single entry from the search results in isolation.] > >Then for the entry that is not crossed out we enter the following. > > #COMMENT(3) entry reads BONUS or CHAPMAN for mothers name. > >Followed by the entries that are not crossed through. > Again, you'd need to enter the two lines with a #COMMENT(2) sandwiched between them. It would be a #COMMENT(2) not (3) -- that would attach to the next, totally unrelated, entry as well :-) McCarthy Mary J O'Brian Cardiff,11a See S'28 #COMMENT(2) Entry reads O'Brian or Bryant for mother's name McCarthy Mary J Bryant Cardiff,11a See S'28 Hope this helps a bit :-) > > >I hope this makes sense.
