TryonThe registers were transcribed between November 1992 and July 1993 by myself - Craig Walsh. As of August 1995 the original documents were owned by Wesley United Church, St. Andrews, N. B. and were in temporary storage at the Charlotte County Archives, St. Andrews. This introduction was originally written in 1995 and has been updated from time to time.
The following changes were made from the originals to conserve space: abbreviated column titles (for some books); most punctuation eliminated; eliminated th's, nd's, rd's, etc., on dates; months abbreviated to three letters (most were already like this). Otherwise this is an exact transcription including ditto marks, blank spaces, etc. Several notes and marks, eg "*", appeared on the originals so be careful to distinguish these notes from those in square brackets [] that were inserted by the transcriber. Question marks [?] follow unclear or illegible words.
