+ vs. &

Henry Rosenberg Sep 21, 2020 10:31 AM

There seems to be confusion whether to use "+" or "&" in transcriptions. I see many plus signs but I was told we should use ampersands. Can I get clarification on this,please?

Thanks,

Henry

You should transcribe what is found in the record. Most likely it will be an ampersand.
