TO THE USER OF THIS INDEX:
A word of caution regarding spelling of last names is always in order. The intention in compiling this index was to use spelling identical to that of the parent book, and where several spellings of a name are found in "THE DILLE FAMILY, 300 YEARS IN AMERICA", the several spellings will also appear in this index. So please check all possible spellings of the last names of interest, particularly the DILLE related surnames.
Married women are indexed by both their maiden name and their husband's name. Where the book is not explicit as to whether a woman's name is a given name or a maiden name, it is assumed to be a maiden name. This index is probably in error in serveral places from this assumption, but the errors are in the safe direction for the purpose of an index.
This index was prepared with the aid of a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 1 computer, and was printed by the computer on an EPSON MX-80 printer. The computer program is my own, and I also entered the names into the computer, so I must accept responsibility for any errors found. I would like to share experiences with anyone else using a home computer to assist their genealogical research.
I have not been able to connect my own DILLEY line into the lines covered by this index. A brief description of my line is included at the back of the index. I would also like to enchange information with anyone working on the DILLEY surname.
