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.
>>> I am on a CA page now that has the same thing, ditto marks are very short while the four year old I am currently entering the line is full width of the box. I am going to still assume it is NOT a ditto, but would like to know the official version.
