do we index a batch if it lists only monuments

Pamela, those are burial records. Not quite what we normally expect but gravestones are a big part of family research!

Pamela Hill7

I wonder if you record these dates as burial dates or death day dates - thanks for any input here

Pamela

Unfortunately I returned the batch but from anyone's experience what is the rule?

Good question, Pamela Hill. Yes we would index this as the death date. Thank you for asking!

Hi Vickie - could you share this batch so we can see what it looks like? Click on the third icon from the right (the one with the back arrow on it). You can follow the instructions from there.

Dear Pamela,

Even though these are tombstones, we index them as death records for the respective individuals indexing the date as the death date. Thank you for your dedication.
