    Depends on the project.

    If it's a city directory, and all of the indexed fields would be the same for two entries, you only index one of them.

    For example, if the directory says:

    Abbott, James M. 123 Main St
    " James M., Sr., 456 Maple Ave

    then you'll only index one entry with surname = Abbott, given names = James M, since neither the suffix nor the address are indexed.
