NAME INDEX

 

What is the Name Index (NI) and how can I use it?

  • It is a large database of surnames and associated forenames (or initials where full forenames are not available) taken from poor law, baptism, burials and monumental inscriptions plus lots of other miscellaneous indexes
  • All recent ESFHS indexes are on the NI and other indexes that are in a suitable format are gradually being added to it
  • The NI will continually grow and improve so come back from time to time to see what has been added

How much and what do I get?

  • You buy a voucher (£5.00) under Research/Look-ups in our Name Index
