What you need to do is what I have, for different reasons. Go to the master surname and/or location list. Choose 'Keep what I put' or something like that. I use it to keep surnames like 'de la Ware' from becoming 'De La Ware' and 'of' not changing to 'Of'. Also handles McDonald not Mcdonald.

I believe it is a database, of 'photocopies'. Each one has a coded name which is search-able, as the census is. The indexing is done on the name file with the attachments (photos) following along. It doesn't matter if we disagree, I would still handle it in Mills as a DB. This may be an
