This is a batch of birth records. The third entry's given name is listed as "Son of Arthur Preis." How should I index that? Is his first name "Son of?" If so, is "Arthur Preis" his last name?


Thanks!

    @Huntsman, Claire Olivia. Hi. I tried to open your batch and I got access restricted. Are these birth records from South Africa?

    Thank you for indexing.

    @Marian McDonald_1, thanks for responding! I ended up contacting a relative who had more indexing experience than I and was able to submit the batch completed.

    Thanks!

    @Huntsman, Claire Olivia Glad you got answers from your relative ---these are likely Pre-1907 Wisconsin Birth Records -- in this case the Given Name is marked <blank> and the Surname is "Preis" then index the other fields available as appropriate. Thanks Mary😎
