Subject: [PABEAVER-L] Index- not always right...

I got the "Genealogical and Personal History of Beaver County, PA" by John
Jordan thru Interlibrary loaning. I was disappointed not to find my SCOTT's
listed in the index. But I started looking thru the pages and noticed other
names connected to my SCOTT's. After a while I did find my SCOTT's. They were
listed under another name...WALLACE... which were in-laws. And because the
WALLACE family is a more predominant family in the area, they were listed.
Anyways, the moral to this story is not to leave any rock unturned. (And
indexes aren't always correct.) I believe I had had someone look up the name
of SCOTT in this book before and of course it wasn't listed in the index. (at
least not JOHN SCOTT) But I went ahead and ordered the book, just cuz I
wanted to look for other names. Boy am I glad I did.
Well, while I have the book, I might as well do look-ups... oh, and I
won't just use the index...
