A note about New York Naturalizations

erutherford

I just finished reviewing four batches of the New York Naturalization project. All four had Oath of Allegiances and all four OOA's were marked as No, No Extractable Data. I had the same issue earlier when five OOA's were marked NNED.

OOA's are to be indexed. They are part of the list that is located in What to Index in the Project Instructions.

Index only the following types of documents: Declarations of intention, petitions for naturalization, military petitions, oaths of allegiance, naturalization certificates, final orders, alien registrations, repatriation records, certificates of admission, name change records, and naturalization cards. In addition, index documents that are similar to these form-types.

I understand the need to contribute, but please indexers, take the time to read the pop-up box, Project Instructions and the Field Helps. They are there to make sure you correctly index batches (and reviewers don't go nuts).

Thank you for bringing this to everyone's attention,

I haven't found any marked like that but have other mistakes made simply because someone didn't read the instructions please take the time to read all instructions this isn't a race our Heavenly Father wants each record to be right

Thank you and know that you will be blessed for your efforts
