A couple of notes: first, anything in [ ] is my best guess at the
handwriting. If it turns out to be an entry you need I can only urge you to
examine the originals, maybe you'll read it differently than I. Next,
anything in (CAPS) is my note, anything in (mixed or lower case) is from the
original. I have tried to put all surnames in uppercase to make them easier
to see.
