Discussion Question

newbie here…do i enter the other family members abroad also or just the top part of the document

Hi, in this workflow we only classify the main person’s information above, from sex to occupation.
You can find information on this given in ‚Info‘ at „Why don’t I have to capture all data“:
The Arolsen Archives have over 30 million documents. They contain references to over 17.5 million victims of Nazi persecution. When someone is searching for a specific person in our archives, some pieces of information are more important than others. For example, it can be difficult or even impossible to search for information about a person if their name is not in our database. And if the search results include several people with exactly the same name, their dates of birth and last known addresses can make it much easier to find the right person. So here at #everynamecounts, we concentrate on entering the most important information first. Our aim is to process as many documents as possible in a short time. By working together, we can give more victims their names back – and piece together parts of their stories too.
There’s plenty more information there.
