Mr McKenzie's detailed and informative introduction to this work, provides the reader with all the information necessary to understand and use the material. Index of People [other than the primary person] Although the content of the books is organized alphabetically by surname of the primary person, there is also an "Index of People" in which you will find the names of people with surnames other than that of the primary person who are mentioned in the announcement. This includes maiden names of married women, names of parents-in-law and sons-in-law, sometimes, names of maternal grandparents etc. By using this index, you may be able to identify connections between your family member and the other people featured in the notice. Index of Places [mentioned in notices] The author expended much labour in the preparation of the "Index of Places", which includes pointers to citations that include mentions of locations in Canada, the USA, Britain and other countries, that are mentioned in the notices. By using this Location Index, you may be able to establish patterns of immigration involving your family and their friends and neighbors. 5385 pages in 12 Volumes Notices are organized alphabetically by surname Index (places) Index (cross-referenced people) Index (of places) Hardcover 6" x 9" Volume 01 - Death Notices from the Christian Guardian 1836-1850
