Ben W. Brumfield	We've updated the software to use a new editor, which displays line numbers and highlights some syntax. While the new editor seems to reduce encoding problems, we are investigating a different font to fit more text on each line. Any suggestions ...	1621-160143_1002	12.

Gina Strack (Utah State Archives)	The level of indexing you've completed here is fine. The company names might be nice but they will also be full text searchable anyway.	1621-160143_0546	03. Executor Bonds	Brigham Young Probate Case File	over 4 years ago
Gina Strack (Utah State Archives)	Thank you for going ahead with the indexing. I think we should do all people's names and place name even if indeed it will be repetitive in this case.	1621-160143_0520	02. Order appointing Special Administrators	Brigham Young Probate Case File	over 4 years ago
agcastro	Should we index commercial and church entities?	1621-160143_0546	03. Executor Bonds	Brigham Young Probate Case File	over 4 years ago
agcastro	Hi. Should we be indexing all mention of Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County as places? No problem to do it, but I suppose it can be correctly assumed that all locations are there, unless otherwise noted in the text.	1621-160143_0520	02.

janellt37	The word Estate needs to be capitalized in the transcription.	1621-160143_0766	06. Court filings from or about heirs	Brigham Young Probate Case File	over 4 years ago
janellt37	The "b" of but on the second line should be capitalized.	1621-160143_0765	06. Court filings from or about heirs	Brigham Young Probate Case File	over 4 years ago
agcastro	Should our indexing conform to the LC Name Authority File?

Agreement with and consent from heirs	Brigham Young Probate Case File	over 4 years ago

Gina Strack (Utah State Archives)	Our objective is not a published transcript that indicates such things, so I think skipping is fine.	1621-160143_0756	06. Court filings from or about heirs	Brigham Young Probate Case File	over 4 years ago
agcastro	I don't know how to best transcribe the strike-through on this page.	1621-160143_0756	06. Court filings from or about heirs	Brigham Young Probate Case File	over 4 years ago

Gina Strack (Utah State Archives)	All extra spaces have been removed, they are not needed for transcription. There is also no need to transcribe notary seals (now removed).	1621-160143_0547	03. Executor Bonds	Brigham Young Probate Case File	over 4 years ago
Gina Strack (Utah State Archives)	Please do not include HTML or other code such as <del> or <sup>, this is plain text transcription only, no formatting.	1621-160143_0511	02. Order appointing Special Administrators	Brigham Young Probate Case File	over 4 years ago
Gina Strack (Utah State Archives)	Hi Jannyp, there's no need to re-create formatting elements on the page such as "curly" brackets that are common to court records.
