I am reviewing records and Jr was added after the Given or Surname. I recall that Jr would not be included if their is not a Suffix field provided for it. Also that Jr and Sr would not require a separate entry if all other information for that person is identical.

    You are correct that we do not index the Jr or Sr unless a field is provided for it.. Whether or not you would index a name with Jr or Sr would depend on the specific project but generally you are probably right that they would not be indexed if all other information is identical.
