In this indexing project, is 'Adam Tyndale' something you would index or leave out?

Also near the bottom it says 'Alexander heirs' for Alexander Chisholm heirs... would you do anything here?


Thank you

    That's tricky. That looks like it could be Theodore H Child or Theodore H Tyndale Admn (Administrator) with Conrad Egge. I am leaning more towards Tyndale as the surname because it would be odd for the female to be listed first in a 1912 record. Usually they are second or if they are first it shows wife (ux of) and then the husband's name. Searches for each name bring up records in Boston during that same time frame for both names, although Theodore H Childs seems more prevalent, than Child.

    You could get around this by using Child or Tyndale.

    I would create another record for Chisholm, Alexander because it is unique to Chisholm, Alexander C .
