People of Ontario, 1600-1900 v.1-3 REF 929.3713
Peo
It alphabetically lists the name entries of 250 000 people, compiled
from books, maps, documents, and films. This is helpful because
both male and female names are listed. However, its downfall is
that the entry does not specify why the person was recorded, just
what book, etc, they appeared in. To understand the listing, first
look at the capital letters in brackets (ie PAT) that follow (not
all listings have this). This represents the persons occupation
or identifying trait (ie woman, aboriginal). The legend for these
codes is located at the back of the book in Appendix A. Next, there
is a capital letter followed by four numbers (ie L1878). The numbers
represent the year that the person was recorded, and the letter
indicates their status. B stands for birth, or baptismal, M for
married, D for death, and L means that they were living. After is
a source code (ie #ON1-123). The letters and number of the first
part indicate which document the person’s name appeared. The
list of documents is in the back, Appendix C. |
