The new web indexing project "US, Virginia—Marriage Records, 1853–1935" has field entry options for husband and wife birth dates, but this information is unavailable in my batch [M3WJ-CYJ]. Instead, there is information given on birth place, which has no corresponding field option available. Types of information presented appears to be constant across batches.

I'm concerned that available field options are not ideal as they are currently presented. Is this something that can or should be adjusted?

    Apparently the owners of the records don't want the birthplaces indexed. The researcher who finds the image will be able to see them though!

    It is preferable to index in Upper and Lower Case letters, as opposed to all capital letters. It is much easier to review.
