    Line 6 also indicates Do (ditto) perhaps meaning an additional/duplicate entry for the same person on some other line of another page - because the name appears unique to this page.

    Name Field Help: "...Index each unique name. Some names may be duplicated. When names are exact duplicates, meaning that all required fields are the same, index only the first instance of the name listed. Skip the other exact duplicates and then index the next unique name. Unique names include names with different middle initials and different name spellings or where the other required fields are different."

    My guess - since this person appears to be a duplicate from another page - but is unique to this page - go ahead and index line 6. It seems like the Instructions are a little vague - but I would interpret them in this manner - meaning to index all unique names on the page not the entire ledger. That the person also is indicated as deceased I do not think changes the indexing of the line?
