If there is no apparent page number, can be left blank.

For the whole image there are going to be ONE Page # for all families on the images.
* Registration # -
The Family Registration Number for this family during this census count.
This field MUST be filled in, in order to group family members together.
If there is no apparent Family Registration Number in the original document,
then create an artificial number for this family (That will be done only by Second reader! First reader, please keep the field empty.)
Use the same number for every member of the family.
For Supplemental Revision Lists, use a reference such as "2 to 43" to mean that this
registration “2” on the additional revision list is related to registration number 43 on the
primary revision list.
In the images the Registration # might be in a column "Family #" and under one number
there going to be a second number which is for the Former Registration # or if this is 10th Revision,
might a column -10th revision and another column 9th revision… 10th - is the current Registration #
and 9th - Former Registration #, etc.

an initial capital letter only.
See the notes regarding missing/illegible data at
< http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/$Transcription.html#II >.
If the surname, name, etc. are unclear, please put "?" in the cell.
You can suggest a name and add a "?".  The "Second" reader should try to resolve these "??"
