When compiling the index, the following
criteria were observed:
1.
Every known name that a person used was recorded as a
separate record. For example, a
married woman would be listed by her maiden name (if known) and her married
name. If the titles of Miss and Mrs.
were given, they are noted as well.
2.
If a woman married a second or more times, she is listed
with each known surname.
3.
Married women are listed by their own first name if it is
known. If not known, they are listed
as Mrs. (husband’s first name and surname.)
4.
The second column notes the locality where the person is
residing when noted. This includes
places in Kansas only. Many of the
biographies list the exact places of birth for these settlers but these are
not included in this index.
5.
The third column includes the page and column number
where the surname is located.
