    You don't index the dittos as they are the exact duplicates of Sidney J Barrett. You will only index the first Sidney J Barrett. The PI states the following:

    • 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.
