U is for Unified Marriage Index Posted 24 April 2017 by Julie GoucherOne of the biggest attributes that the Guild offers members is the numerous indexes (you need to be logged in to access them). In recent months a decision has been taken to merge the various marriage indexes into one offering a wider and more comprehensive index for members. This merged index will be known as the Guild Unified Marriage Index. Many Guild members submit their own material to the indexes so that others may benefit. Of course the biggest benefit is to members who can access the full data available, but non members, should they search for any given surname will find that the search results will also indicate if the surname appears in one of the indexes and many instances are to be found. I am personally submitting material that is relevant to my own family history and then moving on to records from my own One-Name Studies. Do you use the Guild indexes? and have you submitted material? Or perhaps if not, why not?
Julie Goucher says 25 April 2017 at 10:45 am Derek, there is no link to the unified marriage index currently as the indexes are still separate. The indexes though can be accessed at https://one-name.org/the-guild-indexes/ and you will need to be logged in to access them.
