 INDEX

names are spelt according to present usage wherever they so occur in the Register. In other cases the form most frequently found there has generally been adopted.

Cognate forms, such as Alden and Aldwin, are entered separately, unless they obviously relate to the same family. Other variants of surnames, except those in which the differences consist only in the use of i for j or y, or u for v, and vice versâ, are bracketed in alphabetical order after their respective head-words.

Christian names such as Anna, Anne and Hannah; Josiah and Josias, etc., are entered separately, unless there is evidence that the cognates denote the same person, in which case the entries are made under the form most frequently found, and the other spellings are given in brackets.

Parentheses enclosing a letter indicate that it is sometimes present and sometimes absent.
