About Each Index
My Every Name Indexes are compiled specifically with the genealogist in mind. They are cross-referenced in a way to
make it as easy as possible to find the slightest mention of your ancestor. Any transcription may be subject to error,
however every effort has been made to be sure the information is accurate and complete. No claims are made as to
the accuracy of the information found in the text.
How my Every Name Indexes are compiled
To assist the researcher in finding even the smallest reference to an individual, family, or surname, each index is
compiled in the following manner:
1. Every person named in the original text is listed by last name, first name, middle initial, and page
number in the index. Identical names mentioned on more than one page are combined into one entry.
Adams, Alice, 829
Adams, Andrew, 718, 721
2. Every name is spelled in the index as it was spelled within the original text. Be sure to check all
possible spelling variations.
Abat, Everet, 496
Abbot, Everett L., 628
Abbott, Everet L., 376
3. Women mentioned in the original text by their maiden name will be listed in the index in several ways
to make it easier to find a female ancestor.

Ackley, Martha E., 925
Colveyhouse, Martha E., 925
Aiken, Mrs. Emma Sprague, 369

4. Persons designated in the original text with titles will be listed in the index in several ways.

5. Women listed in the original text as married and the spouse's name is given in place of her given
name will be listed in the index and also a reference to the spouse as well. This may be the only
indication that the man was married.
