The fourth column contains the names of the sponsors. When I was trying to analyze the entry for my relative I thought the symbol in the middle red circle on the image were a part of the entry.
Then I looked at the other two entries on the image I made and realized that the items in the circle were partially used to number each entry and were not a part of the names of the sponsors.
If I had only copied the entry for my ancestor and not other entries on the same page, I might have missed that.
Don't copy only the entry of interest on a page like this. Copy other entries on the same page.
You can't made comparisons if you don't.
I agree! And, sometimes, if a certain letter or number is difficult to read, you can figure it out by looking at other items on the page.
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent tip. I've found it true in my research as well. I've included it in my NoteWorthy Reads for this week: http://jahcmft.blogspot.com/2015/05/noteworthy-reads-14.html
