After doing some digging the determination was made that when batches of birth registers are downloaded and the parent's names do not match the children's names, please index only the children's names and blank the parent name fields.

"Just as a note for when FamilySearch is showing down.
[9:51:28 AM] From the Engineering Staff: : I was seeing it down in Firefox. To fix that, I had to clear my cache. You can do that by clicking Tools > Clear Recent History and then proceed to clear the cache and anything else you feel like cleaning."

A new segment was released today. The PI say to mark marriage licenses as NED. That is incorrect and will be changed ASAP. We DO index marriage licenses on this project.

Read the field help carefully on the Birth Town or County.
Remember- if the signature is different than the name at the top of the card, index both with "or" between the names. This instruction (about the names) is the same on all projects.

Batches went out with images that should have been blocked. These are the very large batches. The remaining are going to be pulled and blocked. Only a few batches are out and they are being taken care of.

Question:Mexico Durango 1708-1963
Question:Mexico Durango 1708-1963
Unable to find anything specific in FH, PI or KD.
Mexican church records for deaths from this period (early 1800s) usually record a date of internment rather than a date of death. This one is typical. Can I use the date of internment recorded by the priest for date of death?
An updated answer: "The date would be indexed and the project information will be updated to reflect that."

The change in this field makes it easier to index. Type what you see taking the information first from the birth column or field on the document and then, if no information is recorded there, index exactly what is recorded in the nationality column or field. You may see localities such as Philadelphia Pa, Panama Canal, etc. Index them exactly as they are recorded.
