 United Empire Loyalists American Revolutionary War Genealogy & History Resources More Canadian Resources | More American Resources More Loyalist Resources | More American Revolution Resources BOOK - Index to Monetary Claims by American Loyalists - A New Index to Audit Office 13 By William Bruce Antliff Published by Global Heritage Press, Ottawa, 2021
The first complete and comprehensive nominal Index of Audit Office 13 (AO13) claims & documents Unlike earlier published indexes and a current online index of Audit Office 13 (AO13), this New Index to AO13 is complete, accurate and designed so researchers can easily use it to identify all records pertaining to specific persons. It can be used to quickly find documents both on microfilm, and in the scanned images of AO13 documents on Ancestry.com. Comparing the results of using this New Index versus using the AO13 search box results in Ancestry, showed that Ancestry's indexing of AO13 is very incomplete. This New Index provides the ability to quickly and easily locate documents concerning specific people within Ancestry's scanned AO13 collection. What is Audit Office 13 (AO13) and why is the collection important? The subject of the index published in this 450 page tome is a huge collection of documents in the form of loose folios that are archived in the National Archives in London, England. The title of the collection is Audit Office 13, (normally abbreviated to AO13). The documents were collected and produced by a number of British commissions that examined monetary claims by American colonists who claimed to remain loyal to the British Crown during the American Revolution (United Empire Loyalists). The indexed documents within AO13 include claims, rejections, approvals, correspondence, supporting documentation, details of claimants' activities during the American Revolution, lists, and any documentation related to loyalty and the claim. The depth of information and number of documents varies by claimant. The collection was divided into 141 "pieces" by National Archives in London, England. A 'piece' of AO13 is one or more boxes of loose documents (folios). Within each 'piece', the archives numbered the documents, starting with the number one. Using this new Index, it is now possible to locate every document for every person that has a claim or related documents archived in AO13. This Index dramatically expands on and corrects the work of others
