I have had birth certificates that have up to 3 different numbers. One written, one stamped and one that might be a page number. I don't know which one to use.

    Hi @Angie Marie Whiteley , These are likely from the Wisconsin Pre-1907 Births so Use the stamped number but leave off the zeros, like this 001294 is indexed as 1294. Happy indexing!

    Ok, thank you! In the instructions it says to put down the 4 digit number. If it is 000342, would I put 0342, or just leave the zero off the front?
