Discussion Question

Asked by @mel5`

Hello,
Just wondering what to input here. I have input w.o. for place of residence. The Glossary of Terms and Abbreviations that the Arolsen has indicated as a resource to inform us of the meaning of abbreviations indicates that w.o means „as above“. I am assuming we just input w.o.?

Also, one of the other cards was torn and the surname was partially missing. I input surname as „unclear“- or should we also input the letters we see even though it is not the entire surname.

Thank you for your help.

Hi @mel5,
w.o. = wie oben / as above. It refers to the place of birth mentioned „above“ in the card, meaning the place of birth and the place of residence are identical. So please enter „Roccacasale“ in POB and also in "relative’s residence " - (Some questions + answers, terms etc can also be found here – just in case you haven’t found this yet!)

As for your other question: I probably would enter „unclear“ here as well.
In general it’s better to attach questions like this to the corresponding document, so it’s clear what exactly it is about.
And you can always add additional info in your comments of a specific document (here for example a complete name you may have found in other sources.) (it’s optional of course, not a Must!)
