I mentioned before about adding the Naturalizaion City field to the FSI app for this project, since the Project Instructions included instructions for entering the Naturalization City. I did this as my own complaint regarding the instructions and lack of the field... AND also because someone on the FSI Facebook page complained about it and saying that Other  Naturalization Projects Indexing projects had a field for the Naturalization City.

I think it was a mistake to not add the field and to delete the instructions regarding the Naturalization City.

On the Project Instructions page you have a link "How to Index the Sample Naturalization Index Card". Following that link to the sample Sample Naturalization Index Card  and how it should be indexed, it has the Naturalization city circled in Red and the instruction below, saying: "The naturalization town or city would be indexed as: Barre "

So, according to another indexer, and based on the original project instructions and the example on How to Index the Cards, I just mentioned, the original intent before the Project began was to include the Naturalization City. Whoever programmed the download app evidently made a mistake and did not include the Naturalization City. I thnk it time to restore the instructions and to add the field for entering the Naturalization City.

Thank you.
