    Hi, The instructions state:

    • 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.

    So I have been creating an entry for each name listed. Charles A (with surname not visible) then the next entry would be Samuel A Shurtleff and the next entry Isabella Coolidge.

    Hope this helps.🙂
