[or-roots] Another arbitration question

[CeCe Moore]

Hi David,
What if something is marked out and there is what looks like a "7" above it in pencil. For instance, I have seen M for married crossed through and that "7" mark above it. It seemed clear to me that the man was likely a W but since it wasn't written over, I stuck with the M. Was that correct?
Thanks,
CeCe

I had one this morning that put a long dash for 1935 residence, as the child was less than a year old I left it blank, as that seemed to me the clear intent since the previous lines in the family were for another state all filled out. The arbitrator called it a ditto.
