When it asks for birthplace is native of used for this information? I saw in the instructions, example 3 that it says Native of does NOT equal birthplace. But I am reviewing these and all of them are using the native of as the birthplace. Which is it?

Thanks.

    The field help also says: Do not index the nationality, race, or "native of" as the birthplace.

    As the reviewer, you should mark those fields blank if the indexer has used native of as the birthplace.
