<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">David I hope you didn't get the first three where I didn't quite get the hang of the entering for same etc. I figured it out on the fourth page which was my fault as I should have checked arbitration before then and I would have known. My beef is when I find a name that is either or and I want to get it right and go find out from earlier census info what it actually is eg one I did first day; Loma or Lorna take your pick you can't convince me there is any more reason to call her Loma than there is Lorna on evidence from the page, so i went and found out for sure, found he marriage record in California where she married what his name, her maiden name was Lorna Elliott, but the arbitrator said I read it wrong. So now what? I think I am still going to take the extra effort, but it is frustrating as I had three of those judgement calls reversed in arbitration
and i know I am right.<div><br></div><div>Hopefull from now on will keep my error rate below five percent.</div><div><br></div><div>Les<br><div><br>--- On <b>Fri, 4/6/12, W David Samuelsen <i><dsam52@sampubco.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: W David Samuelsen <dsam52@sampubco.com><br>Subject: Re: [or-roots] Volunteer Indexing on 1940 census - picking an area?<br>To: "or-roots mail list" <or-roots@listsmart.osl.state.or.us><br>Date: Friday, April 6, 2012, 10:13 PM<br><br><div class="plainMail">there isn't any back door at all.

It seems to me like it would make sense for us to do our own area, for example I would know what a lot of the names really are even in a marginally legible local census page. Of course if I index a name with the correct spelling and the arbitrator decides I have read it wrong that won't help, but still. I have spent so much time fishing in so many parts of Oregon though it seems like I almost always know what I am reading. I had two on the last page tonight that were a complete mystery to me. Homer Amorvin or something like thay and Worlein or maybe Moveim or
??. I did three or four pages of K falls so far one in Hood river and one each Portland and Dixonville and 2?

I got Klamath Falls instead of Douglas County – I did them fine but I thought I’d inquire if there was a way to choose more specifically a county and maybe area in Douglas County???
