Currently there
are over 150,000 lines of information. As a
result, most any name you search
for will provide multiple resources for you. The
fields of information available to the researcher
contain the Box in which the resource is located;
the Name of the resource as it appears on the
cover; the Sub Section in the book involved, if
one is; the Surname; and whether there is an
Index or not. In a few of the books with indexes,
you will find multiples, in which case there
will be a number.
