Talk:FamilySearch Indexing: US, Iowa-County Births, 1880-1935

How to index adoptive parents?
For the US, Iowa - County Birhs 1880-1935 project, please add a record and index both sets of parents. See Knowledge Document 101228- How to add indexing lines (records) in a batch

Some batches that have overlays did not have those overlays removed on either the previous or next image when photographed. This made it so that there is not a complete line of data on either image, which means, that the information would not get indexed.

Please check and see if there is complete information for the child, which would include name, gender, date of birth, place of birth and parents names by looking at the other images.

If on your batch, the child's information is covered and on the next batch the parents information is covered, then it will require that you treat this like a two image batch (read project instructions)  by indexing from the previous/next image.

I am sharing a shot I took of the Iowa Births. Up at the top it has Place of Birth and then it lists 1-6. As you can see 2 is township, 3 is Village or City. If both 2 and 3 are filled in, the City is what we should put in. On these two it should be indexed as Castle Grove Township and Cass Township. You know from the key above that line two is township, so please type in township. Also if you ever see township after a name, on other forms, please type in "township" after the name.
