Also, if you start removing entries for any reason, you no longer have a full index, but a partial one. As there would be no concrete, logical explination as to what information was left out, it would not be a good resource for anyone - family or local history researcher to use.

If the index is to already public materials I would leave it as is.

I feel it sets a precedent that could become a nightmare if you 
remove names. It also plays havoc with the whole reason the index is produced!

I too would not remove an index entry from a public information source to 
please a customer, unless the customer can prove to me that there's an error 
involved.

"Everyone claims to want a city, but no one here wants city living. City living by its definition is crowded. It is tolerant of other people. It is dependent on a sophisticated population that makes a hundred compromises daily so that they can benefit from the collective energy that a city generates." --Robert N. Davis, Jr. (1955-2007)
