The newsletter indexes were compiled by Caroline Haddon in 2006 to assist people in finding information within the newsletters since they had not been digitized at that time.

Each index is grouped by years (or multiple years early on) and issue number, but you don’t have to know which year or issue you are looking for. The indexes are completely searchable by using the search functions within the PDF file. The search will take you to the relevant section of the index and the index will tell you which newsletter, page, and type of information is included.

Newsletter issues are sequentially numbered starting with the first one in 1965 (Issue #1) and continuing uninterrupted since. Therefore, the first part of each index is for 1965 and covers issues 1-4; the next covers 1966-1967 with issues 5-9, and so on. The issues are identified in the header on each page to help you keep track.

The location of an item or name in the index is coded as issue #, page #‘s. Multiple references for the same item or name will follow, separated by semi-colons. For example, the reference to: 39, pg 9-12; 40, pg 8-10 would mean the search term can be found in newsletter issue 39 on pages 9-12 and in issue 40 on pages 8-10.

The Surname indexes will also have a content code associated to help you find the information in the Content Index. (See below for the codes.)

Caroline did all of this by hand so mistakes could easily have occurred, but every attempt to be accurate was made. The Society hopes that this might aid you in your research.
