Indexing Names The latest system for indexing; personal names enables a clerk to locate quickly even those that sound alike but are written differently, differ-ently, says Collier's, such as Kelly with 14 spellings, Snyder with 29, and Burke which is also written Bork, Byrk, Bhourque and 36 other oth-er ways. Each entry is listed alphabetically al-phabetically under the first name in the section containing all surnames sur-names with the same chief consonant conso-nant sounds. Hence, the card for Lily "Burke," however spelled, would be filed in section Brk under Lily.
