Indexing surnames with and without apostrophe s ('s)

To keep from being redundant, when indexing surnames, If I wanted to show
the name, Morton, but there are several entries of that name that will be
possessive, can I select the surname without the apostrophe S, for which I
want to show all the pages where that surname shows up? Or do I have to
Index both Morton and Morton's

When you mark the entry, only select the part that precede the apostrophe.
Click the 'Mark All' button and every instance of Morton _or_ Morton's will
be marked. I'm not sure how it would work if you are using concordance file,
though.

I'm not using the concordance method. I haven't done this before, so I have
these kinds of questions. Thank you
