Please Note: Format & Navigation This product is a high-quality digital reproduction consisting of scanned images of the original book.

The original publishers smartly organized the directory alphabetically by town and by surname. This makes locating your ancestors as simple as scrolling to the correct letter or flipping to the desired parish—just like using a traditional phone book.
