From Project Instructions/What To Index:
Do not index certificates of arrival, certificates of loyalty, naturalization cards, or examination records in this project.
The researcher will be able to see the COA when they see the document.
From Field Help:
Include all aliases, nicknames, or variant names that were given for a person, separating them with the word Or.
And from General Indexing Guidelines/Alias Names:
If alias names were included on a document, or if an individual's name was listed with various spellings on the document, include all variants, separating each with the word Or. For example, if a name was written as "Georgios (George), George Broski, George Browzowski, or George Brzozowski," index the name fields as follows:
- Given Name: Georgios Or George
- Surname: Broski Or Browzowski Or Brzozowski
