I'm indexing an entry where the deceased had four prior spouses (3 divorced, 1 pre-deceased). How do I index this? Do I need to add an entries for each prior spouse?

    Index only the last spouse as directed in this Help Center article. b

    https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-should-i-index-multiple-spouses-or-parents

    When the document lists multiple spouses or parents, index only the current spouse or parents. Here are some quick guidelines for these situations:

    • For multiple spouses, index only the present or current spouse.
    • Do not add records to include the other individuals. The information is not lost. After we publish the records, researchers can view the image and gather any additional information in it.
