Project Instructions:

• "What to Index▲Records that are outside of the project date range should still be indexed.
• Index all births, baptisms, christenings, marriages, deaths, and burials."

Entry Type *? choices are as follows:

Baptism/Birth/Christening

Marriage

Burial/Death

The images for this project contain Birth, Baptism and Marriage information. See illustration:

My suggestion is to create two record entries for the person - one an index for baptism/birth/christening and the other an index for marriage. The reason I would suggest this is because both types of records are included in the image and it would be good to have both indexed. You can add an index entry for Entry Type: Marriage - by using the Add Entries tool icon

found left of the Trash can/delete entry icon in the toolbar.

A FamilySearch representative may comment later with different instructions - but that would be my suggestion.

That's what I'd do, and what i've been adding as I am reviewing.

This early in the project, it would be nice if we could get one of these examples into the instructions.

Your batch is a baptism, the image is here https://www.familysearch.org/search/film/108432603?i=68 the register title is shown on img 3 here https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QHJ-YQ7F-YSQ?i=2 These catholic records like to cross reference all the peoples life details. The marriage they refer to on your example is here https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QHJ-YQ7N-F95 and will be picked up when that particular film is indexed

I've been entering two separate entries.

1) Baptism

2) Marriage (the ones I've seen usually have the bride's name as well)

If this record had a death date, I would add an additional entry for death record.

I believe I have the answer to my own original question, i.e. Which Entry Type should I select for this project? Images contain Birth, Baptism and Marriage info.

Would someone please confirm this is the answer?

I believe I should index Entry 1 regarding the birth and baptism information. I should proceed by Creating Entry 2 and selecting marriage and entering the corresponding information there.

The primary type of record is Baptism. There is no instruction on to index other event such as marriage on separate entries.

As has been stated by gary_noble the marriage event most likely would be indexed in a separate indexing project.
