Confusion about a rule in City Directories
In the rules for the city directories, it states:
If multiple people were listed for a single entry, index information about each one using separate entries in the data entry area.
I have only encountered this when a person's employer is listed. However, we are also told that the reason we don't index the owners of businesses is that the person will be listed elsewhere in the directory. Shouldn't that apply to the employer as well?

Employers are not indexed. The researcher will see the employer listed when they view the document.

In some cases, a boarder or various family members may be listed. In that situation, you would add a new entry.

@erutherford Thank you!
But then, what does the rule mean? I've never noticed any other circumstance it could be applied to.

I haven't the slightest idea. @Maile L, can we get clarification?
