Marital Status...  Sometimes the word  Child or Infant appears in the Marital Status field. How to index that? Index Child or Infant entries  as  Single   or  tab over and leave field empty? Here is example:  https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1951-25170-29063-90?cc=1983324&amp;wc=13682430

161779144 image 4. Is the certificate number 25382-A or 25382 (which is a certificate for an entirely different person)?

I have seen the instance discussed in the question above and have marked them &lt;blank&gt;,

Is the 1/16 update addressing the county issue of birthplace when only a county is recorded on the death certificate? If the county is not to be entered into the city/town field, could you please state that? I have not been entering the county and there has been a lot of discussion about this.
