Junior is the only given name. Do I index, "Junior" or leave it blank? This is one of the Census Records.

    Great news! A missionary gave me the Salt Lake City Family Search Support#

     1 866 406 1830

    And called that number then I got a hold of someone there. After giving her some information about myself as part of their process, I immediately gave her the batch number (that can be found by clicking on the "Share button" near the pen icon.)

    Side note: I already know the batch number because I searched for that ahead of time before I called this number. She was very happy that I know it because she was able to open the image that I see. I'm sure that she may be able to give directions over the phone on how to get it if one does not know.

    Share the batch code

    Give the code to someone helping you over the phone.

    She basically said that I can index "Junior" as the given name because it is not written at the end of the entire name. That means, it is not a suffix. Therefore, it is considered as the given name or the first name in this case.
