There are usually multiple areas on the document with numbers on it. I am having a hard time knowing which one is the record number. How can I tell which is the right one?

    If you are working Naturalizations, The record number is the one on, or nearest to, the No. line. If there is no number line, it will be the one closest to "No."

    This is my current batch. Image 2's number is 185496 (Image 1's Declaration contains an overlay and is not indexed).
