Things You Should Remember:
Place of Birth / Nationality

“Type the locality, nationality, or race written in the column or field for place of birth or nationality. If information was given for both place of birth and nationality, then index the information recorded for the place of birth. Type the term or terms as they were written. Do not correct misspellings or expand abbreviations. Do not index punctuation, except hyphens and apostrophes when they were written on the document as part of the [location] name. If no locality, nationality, or race was recorded in the column or field for place of birth or nationality, press Ctrl+B to mark this field as blank.” – Field Help
