The First Edition of this book was issued in the year
1890 with the object of assisting Registration Officers
and the Public searching the Indexes of Births, Deaths,
and Marriages by collating the varieties in the form and
spellingofnamesusually met with, and also those names
differing altogether in form, which had been ascertained
to be used interchangeably.
A careful note has been made during the decade of
cases where additional varieties or peculiarities in Sur-
names and Christian names have come under notice in
this Office, or have been reported by local Officers.
In view of the revision of the Work, I addressed a
special circular to the Superintendent Registrars and
Kegistrars asking for infofmation as to thenomenclature
in their respective Districts, and I now beg to thank
those Officerswhohavesokindlyresponded tomyrequest,
and in many cases furnished additional information of
interest and value.
In the preparation ofthis EditionIhavebeencordially
assisted by Mr. William A. Squires, Superintendent of
Records, to whom my best thanks are due.
