Genealogy and Indexing Paperback – October 1, 2003

4.0 out of 5 stars 1 rating

Indexes are the essential search tool for genealogists, and this timely book fills a conspicuous void in the literature. Kathleen Spaltro and contributors take an in-depth look at the relationship between indexing and genealogy and explain how genealogical indexes are constructed. They offer practical advice to indexers who work with genealogical documents as well as genealogists who want to create their own indexes. Noeline Bridge's chapter on names will quickly become the definitive reference for trying to resolve questions on variants, surname changes, and foreign designations. Other chapters discuss software, form and entry, the need for standards, and the development of after-market indexes.

    Kathleen Spaltro has assembled a wonderful collection of experts in the field of genealogical indexing. Collectively, they will walk you through the process of indexing, highlight common mistakes to avoid, and share some of their experiences that will help make your own publishing efforts successful ... you won't want to put this book down, for it holds many of the secrets needed to take our diligent, yet often disorganized, genealogical world into the future -- a well-indexed future!
