Christine said: Perhaps an indexing project? Many of the indexing projects are broad in their applications, so if that is what you are meaning, just skip or blank it (if the project requires an answer) when it doesn't apply. Many of the rules say to not use Infant as a prefix. Prefixes are Mr, Mrs, Miss, Dr, Reverend, President, etc.

If you have specific indexing projects you can get help on the community indexing pages on familysearch. Communities are found in the help drop down menu. There is an indexing chat group with lots of helpful people who can answer questions.

As 'Christine' as indicated if you want an answer from those experienced in "Indexing", try submitting this post of yours as a question in the:
"Community.FamilySearch" Forum
Under the 'Group' of:
"Indexing Chat"
https://community.familysearch.org/s/...
I am certain that those in that Forum will be able to help.

Tom Huber said: A prefix is a title that is given at birth. Very few persons in the United States are born with titles. That isn't true with those of royal birth. Suffixes are more common.

But as Brett suggested, you should probably pose your question in the Indexing Chat forum in the Community FamilySearch forums. You can reach the communities at https://www.familysearch.org/help/com... and will have to sign in with the same credentials you use for FamilySearch.
