  These are handwriten records, and were at times hard to
read. Question marks were used where a field was not readable.
Birth surnames were derived from the father's surname. If the
father's name was not listed, the married surname was used in
the Birth Surname field. Approximate Age is derived by
subtracting year of birth from year of death when these
are given.
