Indexes to the Morton Montgomery Project Files

There are numerous indexes here to help you locate information in the Morton Montgomery Project files.

The biographies are organized alphabetically on this site. Each biography contains the page number on which you can find the biography in the book. Only complete biographies are included on this site.

The Biography Indexes

These indexes will take you to the complete biographies. In these indexes, each table cell corresponds to a Web page. The index is arranged so that the first biographical entry and the last biographical entry for a page are listed in each table cell.

• Abraham, August to Huyett Family
• Iaeger, Samuel T. to Ruth, William H.
• Sailer, Samuel to Zook, Christian

The Name Indexes

Because of the many names that are in these biographies, the indexes are broken down into two types. The Pre-Name indexes will give you a range of names. From there you’ll go to the name indexes. The Name indexes list every name found in the Montgomery Project on this site. There are 86,000 individuals listed in these indexes.

The Pre-Index

To make it easier to locate an individual name, the Pre-index is organized in such a way that it lists a range of names. Each link that shows a range of names will take you to the name index that lists each individual separately. From that page, select the link that will take you to a biography that mentions that particular individual. The Pre-Index is organized like this:

• Aaron, Samuel to Ives, Thomas
• Jack, John Andrew to Oyster, Margaret
• Pacht, John Peter to Zwoyer, Sallie

The Name Index Pages

To access the Name Index pages, first go to the Pre-Index pages.

The links on the Name Index pages will take you directly to the biography in which the name appears.

Any name that appears in bold is the primary subject of the biographical entry.

If a name appears multiple times in the index, that individual is named in many different biographies. Each choice will take you to a different biography.

The number that appears in the index refers to the page on which the biography is found in Morton Montgomery’s book.

If you identify any errors, please let me know so I can correct it.

The Marriage Indexes

While preparing the files for the Montgomery Project, many marriages were found and they are listed separately in the Marriage Indexes. Males and females are listed in separate indexes. Note that in many cases, there are no dates, or the dates are incomplete. If you would like to update the index with a date, please send the information to Nancy.

• Index to marriages by wife’s maiden name
