    From the Project Instructions/What To Remember About This Project:

    Index each unique name. Some names may be duplicated. When names are exact duplicates, meaning that all required fields are the same, index only the first instance of the name listed. Skip the other exact duplicates and then index the next unique name. Unique names include names with different middle initials and different name spellings or where the other required fields are different. 

    Street addressees are not, and probably never will be, indexed on any project, so even if you have 38 John Doe's living at 34 separate addresses, you will only index the first John Doe.
