Rather than the usual records in this batch like birth, death, and marriage, a school record came up. There is the child's name and the dates they were enrolled in the school. Then it says the birthdate. Do we list that information under birth record, since at least it gives us a child and a birthdate...or say no extractable data?

    I actually had an online chat with FS help about a batch like this. I was told that since it was signed by a school official it should be considered an official record like the ones signed by the hospitals and recorded as a birth record.

    Entry Type: Birth

    Given name: Robert Gopaul

    Surname: Moodley

    Birthday (in appropriate fields): 9 Jun 1936

    All other fields would be blank.
