Tessa,

Just when I thought I was getting to understand how this works something new comes up.

For future reference, other than the date of birth, how would you know to go to #26 when the index indicated no 112?

In these types of indexes, you can only search by date of the record.
I did not "go to" #26. I searched for the date, and found that the record was #26.

It all depends on the town and the era!
Though I believe it has more to do with the particular "style" of the clerk!!
