Do we index names of children on a naturalization record?

I am working on the PA Naturalization project and I'm wondering if we also index the names of the children of the primary person as separate entries?

    Beyond the name and year of birth, we do not index the spouse's information.

    I also have that same question. It seems a shame not to include this information so that families can be connected. Or is it that these same records will be revisited and then the children's name be gathered then?The instructions for these records while clear, omit critical data fields where critical family information is clearly written.

    The children and spouse and are not indexed as they are not requesting Naturalization. The researcher will be able to see the family members when they view the record.
