Ohio Naturalization - Part A -1913-1946 - We don't index Petition for Naturalization records?!?

Thomas Vilfroy

Just to be clear, for this project in Part A, based on the instructions, it would seem we do NOT index the Petition for Naturalization images. BUT we do use the info on it for other documents it would seem, based on the instructions & examples in this project.

If this is the case, might be nice to indicate this in the instructions. Since this is out of the norm for doing these images for this particular project.

We index the PET. From Project Instructions/What To Index:

Index all documents pertaining to the naturalization process, including certificates of arrival, certificates of examination, affidavits of witnesses, and depositions. This is an exception and should not be applied to other naturalization projects. If the applicant is on both documents in the same image, you will combine the DEC and PET. If the DEC is on one image and the PET is on the second image, you will not combine the documents.

Can we get an example of combining the DEC and PET, @Ashlee C.?
