Review a St. Augustine Refuge Merge Before Release
This field note is part of the FOBA learning stream. It is meant to orient readers and point toward better source work.
Key points
- Hold one merge in review until translation, alias, and record-maker context are explicit.
- Pair parish and civil records with court and mission context before strengthening claims.
- Use a hold note when continuity language needs more corroboration.
Next steps
- Run an alias-matrix check before changing place-hub copy.
- Track merge decisions and reasons in the place packet.
- Escalate contested language to Source Review.
Source trail
