The index has a number of editorial issues. Minor inconsistencies of
punctuation are corrected without mention here. There are number of
entries which lack page references. Some can be found in the text, and
are provided in the list below. The index itself is given as printed.
Berg, Ingebrigt p. 373 as "Ingbrigt Bergh".
Johnson, Sjur p. 333.
Thompson, K. p. 291 as "Karen Thompson".
Johnson, Sjur p. 333.
Larson, Erik p. 333.
Larson, Knud p. 343.
Milesten, Halvor O. p. 342.
Moland, Kittil p. 344.
Murray, William S. p. 348 as "William S. Murrey".
Nordgaarden, Gjerman T. p. 281.
Nordby, Rev. J. S. p. 8.
Spaanem, Kathrine p. 334.
There are a number of other index entries which have no page reference,
and which do not appear in the text with these spellings: Anderson,
Erik A.; Björtuft, Ragnild; Björtuft, Thorgrim O.; Blegeberg, Gunder H.;
Gulberg, Arne; Halvorson, Tallev; Hoyme, Christoffer T.; Lee, Ole Aslak;
Olson, Borre; Thorgrimson, Jacob; Tollefsrude, Halgrim L.; Ramlo,
Tarald; Sanden, Embrigt; Tamnes, Christen.
The entry for "Hallan" refers us to "Ove C. Johnson", for which there
is no page number, and no obvious mention in the text under either name.
The surname "Sane" in the index is an error and refers to the name
"Saue". It has been corrected.
Proper names are sometimes inconsistent, especially between the text
and footnotes. The ae ligature is variously spelled 'ae' or 'ei'.
Unless there are many instances of a given spelling, both are retained
(e.g., "Spelleman" vs. "Spellemand"). The letter ö sometimes is printed
without the diaeresis as 'o'. Where the preponderance of instances
of a given name are correct, the offender has been corrected. In the
Registry in Chapter XXXVII, the surnames for Peder Amund Egdetvedt and
Colbein Torkildsen Edgetvedt differ. The spelling of the former, based
on other texts, would seem to be correct, but both are retained.
Inconsistencies in punctuation, especially in chapter titles, have been
resolved without further mention.
The following table describes additional issues, and the resolution of
each.
