Getting back to indexing
I doing a city directory and the last indexing project I worked on was a census record. I have this batch, but the first 9 entries were filled out. The names are just the main ones, ie, Finnell John, Finnerty Johanna, Finni Charles, etc. I'm thinking this is an error on whoever started this batch? Shouldn't all the names have their own entry? Unless they are a business or duplicated, of course.

Yes, this is an error. The indexer did every unique surname. Every person will have their own entry—Stephen L. Finnell and so forth—unless they are exact duplicates; ie you have 15 John Smiths, you will index the first John Smith, then skip down to the next unique name, like John A. Smith.
