SCOPE OF INDEX: Marriages and deaths for very selective years only. Not a comprehensive index. |
FORMAT OF INDEX: A book form index mimeographed on 8½x11 inch pages. The index is divided into two sections. One section is a listing in alphabetical order of the marriages (or deaths) which were listed in a single newspaper for a given time period. These entries consist of the name of the groom (or bride), the name of their spouse, an abbreviation of the name of the paper, and the day, month, and year that the wedding announcement (or death announcement) appeared in the newspaper. The second section is an index by last name and first name to the first section. This index guides the user to the page number in the first section where that person's name appeared. |
