I found my great-grandparents in a a city directory. They are entered as: Hendrickson Clark V (Ollie).
Their actual full names are Clarkson Valentine Hendrickson and his wife Olive Currie (Anderson) Hendrickson.
2.16 specifiies to cite the names exactly and then insert the correction in square brackets. But these names aren't necessarily wrong ... they just aren't exact.
a) so is it necessary to clarify shortened names ?
