	I indexed the baptism, marriage, death records in a spreadsheet(1460 lines), 
record by record; noting the following:
	
	year
	type of record*** b(birth=taufbuch), m(marriage=traubuch), d(death=totenbuch)
	surname
	given name
	spouse
	father
	mother
	spouse's father and mother
	location
	record sheet number
	
*** nb an entry of "1756d name" doesn't necessarily that it is a death record for 
    that person, it may be a child named in the death record of a father or mother; 
    also a birth record entry can be for the father and mother.
	
	Invariably I made typos in the spreadsheet entries; I have attempted to 
correct all of the but some may remain.

	I then saved the spreadsheets in a text file; then had to remove all the 
tabs that were in the text files.  The last operation was to add html tags to the 
text files to bring up the appropriate record page image. I tried to alternate 
those tags: year, name, year, name etc. to lessen the chance of hitting the wrong 
tag; however in correcting some typos and adding some missed names I had to abandon 
that practice in some few places.

	The index is not as complete as I might wish, I know I have missed some 
names within some records.  

	Names are given as they appear in the records; thus we have Cay-Kai-Kay-Kei 
as a surname.  Forenames have the same problem:  Clags-Clas-Claus, Trien-Trin-
Trinke.

	I have not used umlauts in names, using instead  ae  oe  ue (this is not 
true for Kuhl).
