Please refresh my memory on how to index tw on Virginia birth records. If only tw is written with no name, do I enter the parents, birthdate and place, twice ?

    Unless there are two names given for the twins I have only been making one entry. It is my understanding that the second entry would be removed by the system as a duplicate. The instructions are a bit confusing. I would like to hear others opinion on this.🙂

    I have been entering one record as well @LarryClark43, based on the fact that we don't have the specifics on the second child.

    If the unnamed twins were a boy and a girl, then you need to create two entries.

    If I remember correctly all of the tw's that I came across it that project did not give any information for a second entry. I will be alert for that possibility.

    Thank you,
