What is the Master Index?
The Master Index is a simple index made up of our computerised branch indexes containing local material, books and other collections unique to the branch. It is made up of three columns – Surname, Forename/s and Name of Index held by branch.
Is this the same as the Master Index held on the branch computer?
No. This version is simplified, however it should be able to assist you in taking your research further. All other items like place names etc have been removed leaving only personal names.
What branch resources are on this Master Index?
Only local material and collections unique to the branch are on this index. Not all our local resources are added as yet. This project is ongoing with indexes being continually added at the branch level. We will endeavour to update this web version regularly. CLICK HERE for a list of indexes added to date.
How Do I Use the Master Index?
This index is surname based. When you are ready to search, follow the link at the top of this page. This will take you to the A to Z links. Click on the appropriate letter/s which the surname begins with. A new window will open. Simply move down the page to the surname you are looking for. There are often several entries for the one name as all indexes in which that name is found is listed. Make certain you try spelling alternatives, being careful particularly in Mc/Mac.
How Can I Get the Full Details of Information on Index?
We welcome queries and look-ups. Contact us at Balclutha@genealogy.org.nz
Please list details as found on the index in the body of your email.
Post and copying costs will be applied as incurred, and a small donation is very welcome.
