[or-roots] Volunteer Indexing on 1940 census - names

[Denise Sproed]

I was doing as Les mentioned on questionable names – I had one that clearly looked like Watler.  I looked him up a pinch and he was listed in a city directory as Watler so I felt it was correct but it still highlighted it in pink like I made a mistake.

 

Another was a complex name – I found him on find-a-grave and my hunch matched the tombstone.  Most the spelling questions have been for counties that aren’t clear but so far I’ve found them easily on a map.

 

Glad Oregon is making such good progress in 1 week.  Question:  Will the index be put FamilySearch when the state is completed or will they be waiting for more states to be completed?
