If you come across Government listings only individual's names should be keyed, for example City Power Manager, John Jones - you would key John in the Given Name field and Jones in the Surname field. Do not key the name of departments or offices, for example, Office of City Parks.

This form type is for any images that are not title images and don't fit in the section of the book for alphabetical listings. There may be advertisements on the pages, which is why we have left room for entering data on this form type. It will probably be easier to enter data if you turn the highlights off for this form type.
