Hi David,<br>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?<br>Thanks,<br>CeCe<br><font style="" class="ecxApple-style-span" color="#ffffff" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:8pt" class="ecxApple-style-span"><font color="#000000"></font></span></font> <br><font style="" class="ecxApple-style-span" color="#ffffff" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:8pt" class="ecxApple-style-span"><font style="" color="#000000">www.yourgeneticgenealogist.com <br>www.studiointv.com</font></span></font><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="border-collapse:separate;font-family:Arial;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;font-size:medium"><u><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="font-family:Times"></span></u></span><br><br><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div>> Date: Sun, 8 Apr 2012 14:53:57 -0600<br>> From: dsam52@sampubco.com<br>> To: or-roots@listsmart.osl.state.or.us<br>> Subject: Re: [or-roots] Another arbitration question<br>> <br>> repeat what the above line says.<br>> <br>> "If ditto marks or other signs of repetition were written in this field, <br>> type the information from the previous record."
