I am having the same trouble and the project instructions clearly state to index birth records. Here is the batch code MS2R-JNX any help would be great. Thank you!

I would choose Baptism as the record type. That includes fields for the birth date. (You would blank the fields for baptism dates. )

We are instructed to index birth records, but they didn't spell out that the only way to do this is choose Baptism as the record type.

The Project Instructions say: "Index the following types of records: baptism, birth, marriage, burial, and death records, regardless of the county the records may be from."
