Should I index notes about a person on record?

l have a batch of baptism records in which someone has written information about the marriages of some of those whose baptisms are recorded there. Should I create a new entry to record the marriage information in addition to the baptism information?

Here's the link to the batch:

    You should index only what is asked in the data fields. Be sure to check the project instructions for the specific rules for this project.

    You would not create another record to show the marriages. Some projects have an instruction to index multiple events the occur on the record. This one doesn't have that instruction.
