Please help with this batch as it looks more like an "Index" than a baptism/birth

Patron has not been able to get help from the reference images

Could we get an opinion on how to handle this batch.

These are baptisms. There is nothing in the Project Instructions telling us not to index these even though the format is simple. Please index them! Thank you for asking!

It is an index to baptism records:

How do I index records with indexes?

Article Id: 1571-April 20, 2020

An image may contain other information, such as an index. An index is an image that includes only names and page numbers or other reference information.

Determine whether there is vital information that needs to be indexed.

• If an index includes only names and page numbers, it is usually not indexed because that information is included elsewhere in the project.
• If an index includes names, dates, and places, it is usually indexed. For a marriage index to be indexed, it should include the name of the groom, the name of the bride, and the event date.
• If an image has a list of names and you aren't sure whether those names are included elsewhere, it should be indexed. Any missing required fields should be marked blank.

Hope it helps.

In this case it has a name and a date. Also in the Project Instructions it says to index all baptism records.

Looks like burials to me. Age - surname - given name - date appears to be the order of data.
