+*The name may be spelled or listed differently (for example, Anne instead of Ann; John A. instead of John Andrew).
+*The name may be listed under a nickname or middle name (for example, Bill instead of William; Ann instead of Mary Ann).
+*A woman may be listed under her maiden or her married surname.
-The name may be spelled or listed differently (for example, Anne instead of Ann; John A. instead of John Andrew).
