"I have been indexing South Africa for a few years, and this batch is labeled "Birth record" but the forms are all for DEATH records. What do I do?

    Thanks for sharing the batch. In step 1, choose No, No Extractable Data, for all the images.

    In step 1, if you click the purple circle you'll see "If the image does not have the type of information indexed in this project or if all the names on the image are completely unreadable due to poor image quality, select No, No Extractable Data. "

    Thanks for indexing South African records!

    And that is part of the fun of indexing! I remember when I was brand new at it and my oldest granddaughter came over. "Oh, Grandma! You're indexing! Let me show you some things. . . "

    Great, I am following up this batch: the South Africa, Cape Province—Birth Records, 1840–1895[MS1P-MTG]

    Yes- the title of the project is for baptism records but the images are Death records, its project instructions on What to Index indicates the following:

    • Index all birth certificates, birth notices, birth registers, birth declarations, and birth information forms, regardless of the language in which the records were written.
    • Mark all other images, including death and marriage records, in Step 1: Images as No, No Extractable Data because the image does not have the type of information indexed in this project.
