	Q: On the census forms, a child could have same name as the father, but there is no suffix listed. Should that name be entered twice, once for the father and once for the child? As an arbitrator, I don't think so, because the index would be the same for the name.		Q: On the census forms, a child could have same name as the father, but there is no suffix listed.

		+	Duplicate Page Issues:  I have come across duplicated pages; however, these pages are partially covering pages of new material which have not been entered. Do I just mark them as duplicated pages and continue on as there seems nothing else can be done. Will this problem have been corrected elsewhere so those pages will eventually show up in full so that they can be entered?
