I'm Indexing phone/business directories and in this particular directory they've listed death dates, but there is no entry field for a death date. Death dates are pretty significant. Is there a way to Index these death dates somewhere?

    Hi Tina Marie. That is quite interesting to find death dates in a city directory. It is very rare and there is no way to index the death dates in the project. But, because you have indexed the names and made them searchable, the researcher who finds the page will see the death dates.
