US, Illinois—Naturalization Records, 1856–1991 [Part B] [MQKZ-GYL]
I got an image for application to take oath of allegiance. That is not in the paragraph under what to index and there is not an example. So does this mean it does not get indexed?
Online records no longer available from a FamilyHistory Center
The above records have been available from our FSC for many months and have been used by a patron for researching his family in Italy. Today we cannot access the records. This is the image we are seeing: If you click on the Format link, the small circle, you get a message that this microfilm is available for viewing in the…
Does a new member automatically become registered on Family Search?
I am not sure if this happens automatically or not?
Why do we have to go to FamilySearch Centers to be able to see some images?
I am from Manizales, Colombia, and I try to see some images of baptisim records but a lot of those are hidden. Why? Some are available to see and some others are not. I went to a FamilySearch Center in Manizales, Colombia, (the one located in Chipre neighborhood) and the person who served me didn't let me touch the…

Instructions what to do if you index second page from the image first.
If you accidentally index second page in the image before first one, there is a way to add additional entry before already completed one. To add entries in the data entry area, do the following: 1. On the indexing toolbar, click the Add Entries icon. This can be found on the toolbar at the top of the page (on the left side…
FYI for mods--Walnut Creek Military Discharge Records
The PI states to index all military records, including discharge records. Image 1 in this batch is a different discharge record from the example. Can we get an example of this type of record? @Ashlee C. [MQPL-4Y1]
from Australia, Queensland—Passenger Lists, 1848–1923 [MQKC-5MH] p.302 'Merkara'
Returning after a longish break, I'm a bit rusty. I am reviewing a passenger list, with no date recorded; the indexer has recorded 18**, maybe a carry over from previous pages. Do I leave it blank? Secondly, the indexer has recorded the place of origin e.g. Hants or Kerry, and added the country name e.g. England or…
US, Kansas—1885 State Census [MQLR-HCV] not a question-entry type
While indexing I've found more than a few pages with no indication of New Household Id and this box cannot be marked <blank> so I have deduced (not guessed or assumed) that the NHI should be marked Yes when the Surname is written only once with an appropriate (adult) age and marital status because the census takers made…
Reminder for Nats
A few reminders for indexing Nats: Post-1940 Petition will have the record date on the other side of the document. You will index the Affidavit of Witness date as the Petition's record date. This day is preceded by the statement that says, in part, Subscribed and sworn to me before the above-named petition. The AOW date is…
