When the Certificate is written "Mexican", do not use Hispanic; instead indexers should type in "Mexican" because Mexican because we type what we see on the record. Indexers need to type in the complete place of birth as written on the record.

Example: Morenci, Greenlee, Arizona

Look at the examples given in the Project Instructions, especially for Supplemental records which need to be marked NNED after typing the information on the Original Birth Certificate

    This reminds me of post I did while doing Nats. The sex wouldn't accept German and someone tried to correct me, saying that the race should be white. It may be that the applicant is white, but the race was German because you index what you see.
