Re: Batch US—City and Business Directories, 1749–1990 [Part C][M3H9-121]
I am currently working on the above batch. IN column 3 about line 136 and 143 after a name are the letters h n s and another name with b after it. How are those names to be treated. Do I index them with the last name in the first column or no last name?
Thank you,
Aubrey Martin

We have seen it, there are many with h and other letters, and in other right column.
If there is a name after it that is probably a street name, so just the first name before those letters should be indexed.

h is house or householder
b is between
s. e. c. (south east corner)
Margaret, Jane, and Baymiller are streets.
Mason Cuthbert H, whitener, h.n.s. [house north side of] Margaret, b. [between] Jane and Baymiller
