*Note from Ed Pattishall: "FamilySearch took each folder in sequence and imaged each paper in that folder, usually with the tab showing for which folder the paper was in. They then put them in a group of about 2000 images, similar to what might be on a microfilm roll. For waypointing, we are only associating the group of images for each folder tab. We do not look at the contents of the images. Although some appear to be in error or wrong, they were the paper in that person's file in the NC State Archives and they may be a relative or some other reason it is in there. But you don't need to worry about it. <br>When waypointing, you find the first image with a name on the tab, type in the year, given name, and surname. Then find the last image that still has the same tab information (it can be anywhere from one image to hundreds). Click on the first, then shift click on the last (selecting all those images in that person's folder, and click on 'new'. This associates all the images with that tab information. Then you move on to the next. While each group of images ususally has about 2,000 images, there may be 50 - 120 waypoints (or folder tabs) associated with those images.<br>You don't need to read anything on an image except the tab, unless the tab is missing. But they are in sequence so if one is missing and there is another after it with the same tab, it must be included.<br>[For] example, find the first image for [John Smith] on the tab, fill in the tab information on the upper left hand screen. Then find the last image with the same tab (making sure it is the same name & year), hit 'Shift' and click on the last image, and all images in between will be highlighted. Then click new to add them to the waypoint (the next screen over from the one you filled in). Then go on to the next. So the if the image for a person who died in Burke County has the tab for [John Smith], it is not an error. It was a paper located in [John Smith's] file at the NC State Archives and should be associated with his folder.<br>[[Category:WikiProject_Waypointing|North Carolina]] | |||
