Image shows second page of record
Do I assume the person who indexed the first page entered the info on the second page?
Batch MQKZ-TFJ, first image. US, Pennsylvania, Cambria County—Naturalization Records, 1835–1991
If I come across the first page, do I continue adding the information from the second page? I read the instructions but didn't find the information I'm looking for.
Thank you,

You will mark Image 1 as No, No Extractable Data. Image 1 belongs to the batch before this one. Image 2 is the start of another batch and has been index correctly.

The instructions are in the General Indexing Guidelines: "What to Do When Records Span 2 Images …".
As erutherford said, fully index any record that begins in your batch. It looks like you'll be needing to look at the +1 reference image to complete the indexing of your batch's second image, as that's where the information should be for the date fields (Recorded Day, Recorded Month, Recorded Year). If the next page is anything like the previous one, you'll probably be using the part of the field help that says "If the document includes more than 1 date, type the most recent date that relates to the naturalization process." (Unfortunately, for some unfathomable reason, shared batches do not have reference images, so we can only guess what's on them.)
