When indexing names from the directories, if it says for example "Wolters see also Walters" do we use both names or just the first one?

Also, If there is a business that falls in the list of individual names I know that we don't index the business but do we index the names that go along with the business? Ex. Women's Oil Association Mrs CB Luck, Mrs. AN Rogers….? US—City Directories, 1823–1935 [Part D] [MQKD-3TS]

    Any name that has "see also" attached to it is a reference point for the researcher. Antonia is indexed under the name Wolters and Thos G is indexed under the name Wolsey.

    Individual names that are within a business listing are not indexed. They will have their own entry elsewhere in the directory.
