Batch MQSS-64G. This is an Index with names and dates. The first column heading is Jaartal, which translates to Year. The Indexer marked it NNED, but since it has a date and name it should be indexed. I began to index them as Births, but I went to the image of this batch and they were from Wellington, Cape Province and marked as Baptisms. Do you concur that I should change them to Baptism dates, not Birth dates?

    I haven't done the Dutch version of Birth/Baptism/Marriage, so this would be up to you.

    This Batch just says Jaartel for year, but other batches from the same project say Geboren en Jaartel, which is Born in Year. Since they are in order of year by alphabetical letter I'd rather assume that they are Birth Dates. Images of Batch Types have been known to be wrong before.
