Collection Content

The collection comprises 196,148 images, which may be browsed or searched with a name of your subject.

For browsing, the collection is divided into 44 segments of alphabetically arranged surnames. Each of these segments consists of a roll of the original microfilm series. Each roll of microfilm begins with a few images that document the roll and its filming data. Afterward, each image presents one or two index cards of information for a single person. The format and depth of information on a card varies with the year of indexing activity, and, occasionally, the information for a person includes the card reverse, which is presented in the following image. The order of presentation is, with rare exceptions, in careful alphabetic order.
