US, Missouri—Naturalization Records, 1843–1991
Hello!! I just have a quick question. In this situation, should I index the children's information? All that is given is their first name and age, so I can approximate their birth year.
I am thinking that yes, I should, but I haven't read any direction about this in the project instructions.
Below is a screenshot of the situation:

@Fike, Ky Robert Thank you so much for your help in indexing these immigration records for FamilySearch. You asked about indexing the children's names on this document. From the Project Instructions under the category "What to Remember About this Project," the seventh bullet point says"
- Index information about the person seeking naturalization and about the person's spouse, all in the same entry in the data entry area. Do not index the names of parents, children, or other relatives that are listed on the document.
The children's names should not be indexed.
We appreciate your diligence in indexing. Please don't hesitate again to ask more questions. Enjoy your day.

@Fike, Ky Robert You are welcome. I know it's hard to see family names there and not index them. As a researcher, I am always thrilled to find the names of children on immigration records. I am sure others are too. Keep up the good work.
