Searching SDNQ
SDNQ can be searched by index terms (peoples names, placenames, or other terms), or by free text. You can choose which method to use by selecting the relevant radio button on the Search page.
Please note: The text version has been created by OCR (Optical Character Recognition), where images of the original pages have been read by software which recognises the printed characters. However, where the original print is difficult to read - as is sometimes the case in SDNQ - the recognised text may be incorrect. Although the accuracy of the recognised text is good enough for search purposes, you may prefer to read the images rather than the text version. On the text version page click the Image button to view the image of that page.
On both Image and Text pages you can browse the volume using the Previous and Next buttons, or enter Volume and Page number to go directly to a page. Index records show Volume and Page for the original publication, which may be of value to those of you with access to the original volumes.
In the index terms forenames are often abbreviated, so you should allow for this when you search. For example, William is often shown as "Wm.".
The * wild card can be of great help to make sure you don't miss names of interest.
