    This is an indexing question. If there is no prefix field for the officiator, then you would ignore the titles like Rev, Fr, Elder, etc.

    There are 3 things that can be done with the officiator. The first is nothing. This can be a problem for some folks because it is not pursuing the issue to a final disposition.

    The next thing is dismiss the Unfinished Attachments. This papers over the hanging attachment. It does make the Sources display look cleaner.

    The third is to process the officiator like any other unrelated person. This seems extream to me, but some people do it. The offiviator's sources lists are long, but still miniscule considering the number of registered users.
