    Since the birth city for entry is a turnpike and not an actual city just index the city as blank. Anyone searching for Ida can look at the image and determine what they need to do for the city.

    On entry 4, the birth was Near Harrisonburg. You leave off the word near.

    • Do not include identifying descriptions or terms, such as “near,” “about,” “around,” “twp,” “township,” “city,” “county,” or “state,” with the place-name unless the term is normally used as part of the name (for example, Mexico City, Salt Lake City, or New York City)
