We have a member who had her name removed from the records of the church and was recently re-baptized.

Should this be classified as a "recreation of old record" on the baptismal ordinance form, or a "convert" baptism?

I hope you went through all the steps listed in HB1, 6.14.4.

That is addressed in the Handbook section I referenced above. It is a "Re-creation of a record" -- Church headquarters will still have a record of the old membership record, and so they need to know that they need to look up the old record.
Questions that can benefit the larger community should be asked in a public forum, not a private message.
