How do I index this record?

Alison Craig

I'm indexing a business directory where I index a husband and wife as one entry--if listed. Here I have an entry for a father and son, a business with the surname, the father's initial and "and Son." If I were to index the son, I assume I would only index him by his surname, but should he be indexed at all? Here's the link: https://www.familysearch.org/indexing/batch/7bf4acfe-ea89-46a8-b423-3584f0ffd2d0. Thanks for your help!

Hi Alison. If the listing is J Smith & Son. you just index J Smith. The Son is not named, so he is not indexed. Maybe he'll be named separately later.

Great! Thank you.
