To begin, I am working in German language records, translating as I go, and many have only the month and day listed, but no years since they are at the top of each page. They are very difficult to locate like this in a search, so I've been adding the correct years when I can. The new Edit functions are great for births and…
How do you index and Affadavit of Witnesses

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]
