I'm indexing the US, Oklahoma, Pawnee County—School Census, 1912–1948. I have to index the census date, and the only date shown is "year ending June 30, 1913." Do I index that date, or leave it blank since that might not be the actual census date? Here's my batch:

    I would use that date. Schools usually take a census on the first day or last day of the school year. It is always better to have a year - makes the search easier.
