May I ask for input for how to format a Grantee corporation?

[M35H-R8D]

On the right side of the image, do I just list all of the following in the same field?

"Methodist Episcopal Zion Church Of New Rochelle Or St Catherine's African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church"

    Hi @MelissaHW

    I think you would be correct to do that because of the “aka” structure, but if the field won’t accept so many characters, or you’re uncomfortable with that “OR” structure, I would make separate entries. I hope that the search engine could find the image either way, and allow the researcher to see that they are the same entity.
