I'm not sure if I am saying this correctly so, please bear with me. I have only come across a few and have not found an example of how to index a child that a parent has filled out on behalf of the child. Do you use the information of the child or of the parent to index? The two that I have come across while doing review is that the parent is being indexed and not the child. I know that they are few and far between. I am wondering if there be an example of what information is to be used to indexed them. Since I was not familiar with them, I returned the two batch's that, I came across.

    From the Project Instructions:

    • If a naturalization document was filled out in behalf of a spouse or child, index the information about the child or spouse as the principal person. For documents created in behalf of a child, do not add entries in the data entry area to index the names of the parents.
