For the indexing fields, where is the Death Indicator field for the child born dead? I'm indexing US, Virginia—Birth Records, 1853–1896[MQ7Z-Q7R] . Thanks for any help.

There is no field to index whether a child is born alive or dead. You would index Beckwith as Surname: Beckwith, Given Name: <Blank>, Date of Birth: Dec. 11, 1888, Place of Birth: Fairfax, Father: Albert Beckwith, Mother, Fannie Beckwith, Color or Race: White, Sex: Male.

Thanks, since I haven't done much indexing this past month, I thought I was missing something - part of my journey through old age 😎
