I'm seeing something new where multiple names are written under a name. For example,

Frazer Alexander

see Frazer Or Fraser Or Fraiser Or Frazar Or Frazier

Should all of those names be listed with every other given name below the first one? I may be wrong, but it seems since the name Frazer was used it would still be the one used with the given names that are listed after until a new surname is given? Does this make sense?

    Yes include them all in Surname field from Alexander down to where ever a new surname appears on a line.
