Batch: US—Bureau of Land Management Tract Books, 1800–1955 [Part E][M3GR-14C]

On this batch, between the regular lines with names, etc., there is some info, including names and dates, that is much lighter. For example, H.S. Bacon with a date of Dec 3, 1907 under James W. Phillips. Should I be indexing that info?

    In the project instructions we can read:

    • Not all transactions follow the columns exactly. Some entries are small and take up only half of the row. These entries should also be indexed. 

    Hope this answers your question🙂
