Summary
This book provides an overview of the different indexing schema used in government record keeping. Most government indexes do not list records in alphabetical order by surname. The Cott index is often employed in indexes for Lancaster County, and this book provides an explanation of that system along with many others. Use of this guide will provide researchers with the knowledge to make their searching of indexes successful.

For years, this resource was mistakenly labeled as being from Lititz in Lancaster County. However, a scan of the names brought this into question. Our genealogist, Kevin Shue, consulted with the librarian at the York County History Center, and the two of them confirmed that the information in this resource is from York County and not from Lititz, PA.
