Index to the Biographical Section of Goodspeed's by Ross Cameron

© 1998 Ross Cameron

I decided to list women by both their maiden name (if given) and married name. The number of children of a couple is given under the record for the mother and not the father. I did this for space, because the father's line usually gives his birth order and the number of children his parents had which is information not usually provided for the wife/mother.

I also decided to give some indication of dates based on life course events rather than just say "no dates". Since they don't have the full text, readers will have some idea of the time in which the person lived even if no birth or death dates were given in the text.
