A census name index is an index of names compiled from the census
records. This enables you to search for a person by surname, forename
and age.
Indexing census names for large counties like
Yorkshire or Yorkshire is a mammoth task and a huge amount of manpower
is required to compile those records.
Two major UK-based genealogy supplies companies,
S&N
Genealogy Supplies and British
Data Archive, have been funding a new census name-indexing project
and making their existing databases available online at www.TheGenealogist.co.uk and www.RootsUK.com.
Thousands of volunteers from all over the UK have
since contributed to this project. The online database is quickly
expanding with thousands of new records being regularly added to
it.
Cultural, historical and geographical knowledge
of the UK and an interest in genealogy gives them an advantage in
producing more accurate results.
The results are used in published indexes and
checking of full transcription projects completed overseas.
