US, Illinois–Soldiers Burial Places, 1774-1974,Project Updates
Updates posted by Aayancey contradict what I was told verbally by support, Basic Indexing Guidelines, and Field Help. Rank instructions are correct per support:

07/11/13: Do not index rank in Terms or Titles field.

Nearest relative: 07/11/13: Index a name from the front or back of card ONLY IF A RELATIONSHIP IS SPECIFIED. Persons with the same SN as the soldier are not indexed unless a relationship is specified. App/Applicant or Inf/Informant names are not indexed unless a relationship is specified. A name in the Nearest Relative section on the back of the card is not indexed unless a relationship is specified. 07/27/13: If multiple relatives are specified - whether on the front or the back of the card - records should be added so that each name is indexed. Abbreviations: Look-up list for City DOES have expanded abbreviations, but does NOT include "Township". Per Basic Indexing Guidelines: Type only the name of the place. Do not include terms as "county of," "county," "resided in," "rural," "of," and so on. For example, type Pleasantview, not “city of Pleasantview." The word "Township" falls under this instruction. Look-up list for County does NOT have expanded abbreviations.   Burial State: The Field Help linked example and bold print both indicate that "Illinois" IS indexed. https://indexing.familysearch.org/projtab/viewProject.jsf?url=USIllinoisSoldiersBurialPlaces1774-1974/examples/Example55.html
