Ok, so now I have

Harley, Herbert Henry and

Harley, Herbert Henry, junr

There is no field for firstname or surname suffix

    It is okay to only have one entry. The goal is to allow a person to find the name on a search. You only need to index Harley, Herbert Henry once. You can index the name twice if you'd like, but, the system should delete the duplicate entry. Here is a training article on titles and terms that tells us: If no Titles and Terms field is included in the batch, do not include them.
