I am working on a NY state naturalization batch review (US, New York—Naturalization Records, 1820–1991 [Part H][M3FQ-6H7]) and the last document is actually a Wayne County, Michigan Declaration of Intention. Should I just mark it as "No extractable data" or actually transcribe it?

    Thank you for providing the batch code,

    Certainly image 4 is from another state. This document should not be marked "No extractable data" and yes, it should be indexed.

    Where this document from Michigan and the project instructions do not state not to index documents from other states, it should be indexed. It is possible the person declared their intention in Michigan and moved to New York before the process was completed. It should be indexed and according to the project instructions the event place should not include United States, Just Wayne, Michigan

    It is correct to index that declaration. He probably moved to NY and his petition will be there. (Maybe on the next image?)
