For the Newark NJ Petition for Naturalization, the name Sam Babushik is listed as full and true name. Further down the name Medofi Lesikow (Sam Babushik) is listed under the lawful entry into Boston, Mass. How do I list that second name or is it needed?

    You will index this as follows:

    Given Name: Sam or Medofi

    Surname: Lesikow or Babushki


    Under Alias Names in General Indexing Guidelines in the Project Instructions:

    If alias names were included on a document, or if an individual's name was listed with various spellings on the document, include all variants, separating each with the word Or. For example, if a name was written as "Georgios (George), George Broski, George Browzowski, or George Brzozowski," index the name fields as follows:

    • Given Name: Georgios Or George
    • Surname: Broski Or Browzowski Or Brzozowski


    The "Or" instruction is also located in the Given Name Field Help (purple question mark).

    Include all aliases, nicknames, or variant names that were given for a person, separating them with the word Or.
