Petitions for Naturalization have important information that should be indexed, but is not.

These Petitions for Naturalization contain crucial information that is not being indexed. For example, they contain the name, sex, place of birth, and date of birth of petitioners children, which is crucial searchable and correlate-able information that has no place to be entered that I can see from these records, and therefore is not being entered at least by me. If there is a way to enter information for children then it should be clearer in the instructions how to do so, and if there is not a way then a way to do it ought to be created so that this important way of correlating family relationships, that are often so clearly laid out in these records, can be searched in the index.

    What we index is decided by the record owner and that is included in the contract with FamilySearch which allows us to create and publish the index.
