Hi, I'm working on my first indexing project for naturalization records. Countries borders changed a lot in the 1900s. I have a lot of records that state a previous country, such as Warsaw, Russia and Ropczyce, Austria. These cities are now both in Poland. Should I put the current country and note the previous country on the form in parenthesis or just note the current country? Thank you!

    You will index what is on the document. Do not note where a place is currently located.
