Clickable Given Names
Note that we give married women and widows a separate link line for the maiden name ( if known )
Also note that for SMITH William Henry
the logic sets up William and Henry as separate clickable links.
If several persons with the same given name are in the same category, county, township, or file you will find little up and down arrows
to the right of a given name. Clicking on a down arrow jumps ahead to the next entry with that person's name.
Clicking on an up arrow takes you back to the previous. Arrow clicks are very fast because your computer bounces entirely
within the file that is already downloaded and on your screen.
Please contact John Allan at 1-705-983-4341 or allanj@eastlink.com if you see obvious errors or have ideas
on exactly what should happen when we click on a given name.
One option is to use the first 3 letters as a wild card so clicking on SMITH Eli will bounce through
SMITH Elijah SMITH Elisa SMITH Elisabeth SMITH Eliza SMITH Elizabeth .
Option two is to give every person already in OGSPI a separate entry in the on-line
equivalent of a Toronto phone book ( 1.6 million names so far ). Clicking on SMITH Ann will take you
to the first SMITH Ann entry in the sequence.
Option three is to clone each marriage record, census family, birth announcement, etc by individual names.
Option four is to make every file a linked list with NEXT and PREVIOUS buttons for each person.
Option five is the best one but we haven't even thought of it yet. - IDEAS PLEASE ! ! !

Effective February 2009 the OGSPI sorting/indexing/uploading software
is restructured to satisy a number of privacy concerns.
Normally as Genealogical researchers we each go backwards in time
generation by generation seeking details for :
Many maiden names in Hope Township &
Port Hope Town census files
Woolwich Township 1871 census
Ashfield Township 1861 census section 1
Asphodel Township 1891 census
Ops Township 1891 census division 2
Downie Township 1871 census
347 families in Cramahe Township 1891 census
Elzevir Township 1861 census agricultural
Rawdon Township 1861 census agricultural
Sidney Township 1861 census agricultural
Haldimand Township 1881 census
Cutoff dates are :
Census 1911 ( same as Library & Archives Canada )
Births 1912 ( same as Ontario Vital Statistics )
Marriages 1927 ( same as Ontario Vital Statistics )
Deaths 1937 ( same as Ontario Vital Statistics )
War & Military 1953 ( end of Korean War )
Other Categories 1940
Search engines like Google will probably still point to directories
and files within OGSPI where newer information used to be.
