I am currently indexing the following "South Africa—Reformed Church Records, 1856–1988[M3S9-9X2]". There are a number of batches that do not advise whether the batch is a baptism, marriage, or church membership. The batch only contains a name and a date. There is not an option to mark blank in the type of entry block. Should I mark the whole batch as no extractable data?

    Check the reference images and see if there is a heading to indicate what the record is

    Unfortunately I do not know what this says but this is the type of record for this batch. Does this help?

    This may also help. This is the first page of the project. The preceding image is the second page.

    This may help, to discern that they are most likely baptism records.
