US, Illinois—Naturalization Records, 1905–1954 [Part D] [MQ2D-WFG]
I have a batch containing 2 images, 2 pages on each image. At the first look I thought it was duplicate but there is a little difference on the bottom page of the first page in the second image. It contains certificate of arrival
According to the instructions we should not index affidavits of witnesses, certificates of arrival, certificates of loyalty, examination records, or naturalization cards in this project.
Does anyone know what to do in this case?
Batch code MQ2D-WFG

On Image 1, you will only index the Oath of Allegiance (left side). On Image 2, you will only index the Petition of Naturalization (right side). The Certificate of Arrival is an overlay on both images with the Oath being indexed on Image 1.

Thank you very much erutherford. You are a fountain of knowledge in the indexing world 😊

If the Certificate of Arrival has the person's original name before they changed it here is the U.S., can you add that to the indexing of a Certificate of Intent or a Certificate of Naturalization, separating the names by "or"? I always feel those certificate of arrivals are put there to disclose the original name?

Certificates of Arrival are not indexed and no information should be taken from them.
