I found my answer. Put Jr. in the suffix field

As an aside ...

.

Firstly ...

.

IF, you are referring to the "Name" field in the "Vitals" Section for an individual/person in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'; THEN, it is best NOT to include such 'Suffixes' (eg. Junior; Jr.; Senior; Sr.) IF they are NOT recorded on 'Official' "Birth" registration records (or, "Christening" records if pre-'Civil Registration').

.

And, furthermore ...

.

IF, such 'Suffixes' are NOT recorded on 'Official' "Birth" registration records (or, "Christening" records if pre-'Civil Registration'); THEN, you can record them as an "Alternate Name" in the "Other Information" Section for an individual/person in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'

.

Secondly ...

.

IF, you are referring to "Indexing"; THEN, you should refer to, both, the general "Indexing" Instructions/Guidelines; and, the actual "Project" Instructions.

.

I hope this helps.
