In the General Indexing guidelines, on how to index Alias names applies to this situation:

If alias names were included on a document, or if an individual's name was listed with various spellings on the document, include all variants, separating each with the word Or. For example, if a name was written as "Georgios (George), George Broski, George Browzowski, or George Brzozowski," index the name fields as follows:

• Surname: Broski Or Browzowski Or Brzozowski
