What date should I use in Missouri Naturalization records?
I've been reviewing US, Missouri—Naturalization Records, 1863–1942 [Part C]. (My batch: https://www.familysearch.org/indexing/batch/5868c6c3-bab0-4bd1-b0de-7a29e7dc821c) I came across an Oath of Allegiance, and I'm not sure whether to use the Certificate of Naturalization date at the bottom or the date referring specifically to the Oath of Allegiance. The instructions say, "When typing the naturalization date, use the most recent date that relates to the naturalization process." The Certificate of Naturalization date is more recent, so is the person who indexed this correct?
Thank you!

You will use the Subscribe and sworn to before me date, which is February 3, 1919. This is shown in the How To Index an Oath of Allegiance example in the Project Instructions.
