Using the Surman Index

There are four main fields by which the data can be sorted: surname, career (which covers congregations and non-ministerial employment), counties or countries, and education. There is also a search option, but variations in spelling, particularly of surnames, can lead to poor results. It may therefore prove more satisfactory to browse one of the main fields for the relevant names or categories. Images of the original cards can be seen for each person: to check the accuracy of the transfer of data, to find any additional information, and most importantly to see a list of the sources used.
