US, Ohio—Naturalization Records, 1912–1922 [Part C][MQ5Z-23K]
As the instructions say to index all documents relating to the naturalization process, where there is a Petition of Naturalization with an Affidavits of Petitioner and Witnesses on the same page, are we to create a separate entry for the Affidavits of Petitioner and Witnesses? If so, is the same record number used or no record number for the second entry?

The only thing we take from that part of the Petition is the date at the very bottom for the record date. Everything else is not indexed. You will need to delete entry 2 on Image 1.

Oh, I don't know. Probably from 10 years of indexing and the 8393434 Nat projects I've worked. AOW's have never been indexed in any project. AOW's, when attached to the PET, are not individual documents. The only time that Witness statements are indexed is when it's a deposition of the witnesses, which are stand-alone documents.

@erutherford, where did you find such instructions, and how do you reconcile them with the initial popup and the "what to index" section, which say to index everything? This project is specifically pointed out to be different from the other naturalization projects, so we can't use the "what to index" instructions from those.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.
