Transcriber's notes
For Brenda, For your guidance, I have made some amendments to the previous page, Text in the situation should be entered at the beginning of the description and punctuation should only be transcribed if it appears on the original. Dr. and Compass points should be expanded in brackets. Page Titles and Numbers should be transcribed in Continued Entries. Lines should be put ito the Correct order by clicking and dragging on the cross to the left of the place name. Any queries please see FAQ's or post in Forum.
