In the past, no indices (ie., pages with names of Grooms and/or Brides only with page# or book# listed) were not to be indexed. Now, I see a pop-up that says index anything with a name. Has the instructions been revised?

TIA

Dwayne

    Yes, they did the change the instructions in early February and it was confirmed in a post:

    "Thank you for your patience while this question was escalated. We appreciate your question, and have received an answer.

    This batch and the other images in this project are to be indexed. The directions to not index book indexes with only a name and page number has been removed from the pop-up. We apologize for the confusion.

    Please follow the directions in the Project Instructions under What to Index, bullet point 1. "Index any primary marriage record or associated document that has the name of a bride or a groom, even if the document does not contain a date. Documents to index include marriage licenses, indexes, marriage applications, and so forth."
