[or-roots] common mistakes indexing 1940 census

[W David Samuelsen]

blank lines stay UNnumbered, no matter what.

as for the sisters situtation - I am waiting for reply about it, no 
instructions dealing with these.

There's no such as O.S.I. !  This will be dealt with when the index is 
released, then the researchers can take care of it.

look up Wikipedia.org   Catholic religious order - lists all known 
orders with abbreviations. O.S.I. is not one of them.

The arbitrator put Derwa in both the surname and given name column, Maybe it should be in the surname and Sister should be the given name. the arbitrator also read O S F as O S I, is there such an order? That one was in Yamhill county. Also I thought blank lines were supposed to be just that; blank all the way across but the arbitrator numbered all the blank lines.
