   Some records are indexed; some are not.  This is good and bad.  It is    
   good in that it makes them easier to use; but you are dependent on the    
   accuracy of the transcription.   
      
   I do not know about the records you mentioned, but I have found that the   
   original records had original indexes.  While it takes some time to    
   understand how to use the original index, they work just as well as the    
   transcribed index, BUT you have to look at the individual books in the    
   database for the original index.   
      
   Using the original index, allows you to make your own transcription of    
   the information, and you sometime find associated information that you    
   would not find in the transcribed index.   
      
   I have found people in the original indexes, that I never would have    
   found using the transcribed index, as the transcriptions were so bad.    
   On instance, where the sure name started with Kn, was transcribed as Thn,

   They did not know your standards, so could not try to meet them.
