    You should probably share your batch code to get a good answer to your question. The batch code is the group of letters and numbers at the end of your batch title. It will look something like this M3D2-TB9.

    You can also go to help at the top of the page and it will help you share the batch.

    The instructions say:

    • Index each unique name. Some names may be duplicated. When names are exact duplicates, index only the first instance of the name listed. Skip the other exact duplicates and then index the next unique name. When the middle initials or the given names or surnames are spelled differently, please index these unique names. 
    • Index all names except those listed in the "Owner" or "Remarks" columns, or names of companies or trusts. Often, names of owners appear on the right side of the image; these names should not be indexed.

    I have not worked on this project but it looks like those names would be covered in bullet 2. owners companies and trusts, so would not be indexed.


    Hope this helps
