[Genealib] Another indexing question

Hi again,

   Another question for newspaper indexing projects.  I have a folder of
obits, death notices, and news articles for unidentified individuals (aka,
John Does).  I keep collecting them hoping that we will come across a
future article that identifies the person.

   How do you handle (or would like to see handled) these citations for
name entry?  Are you ignoring them?  Entering as John/Jane Doe?   What's
the advantage to including a John Doe in the index?


Thank you!
