I downloaded a batch with code M3JK-T1Y and site address https://www.familysearch.org/indexing/batch/6eb2ed80-aa52-464b-bbd1-1ffe0c42ebc7

One of the first things required is the entry type which can be marriage, birth or death. The record looks like either birth or death. My guess is these are death records because it does not have parent information. Please confirm.

    Also, not sure if the dates are death or burial dates. Do you know?

    Hello,

    These actually look to be baptisms as several of them have a date for a burial which is later than the date of the register. I have checked several of the names on Family Search and they are, indeed, listed as baptisms. Whether this list is worth indexing is another matter entirely, though. The instructions tell you not to index indexes which just consist of names and a volume or page reference and nothing else. This list does have a year, so is slightly more informative. I think someone with more knowldege of the process would need to help with that.

    Hilary.
