There is so much more info on the birth record, like age and birth places of parents. Is there anyway to add this info, so it is available after indexing?

    We only index the fields that are on the entry form. There is no way to add any other information. It is very valuable to index the basic fields so that we create a searchable index. Once the researcher finds the image, they will see the other valuable information on the record.
