Names Beginning With

SOURCE CODES

As you look thru most of the East biographies, there will be codes after the names [in braces]. Those are ID numbers, in order to keep the many people with same names from being confused with others.

Also, the letters and numbers in (parentheses) following a biography are source codes. To see where the information came from, go to the Source Code file. If you see an asterisk just above the listed children, that means I have not yet placed them alphabetically. It also usually means I don't have much info for them.

When searching for a person in alphabetical order, you may know his full name, while I do not. So if you cannot find your person alphabetically, try searching for his name without the middle name or initial, or try searching by the middle name used as the first name. Example: If you are looking for William C Pinckney East, I may have him as William P East, or as William East, or as Pink East.
If two people have the same name, then the elder one should be listed first.

If you see a name in {Braces}, that is an indication that there is a link for additional information. Go back to this Home Page and see the list of Links below.

There is a Web Page called Pictures. In some of the biographies there will be a text note (picture) which is an indication for you to go to the Pictures link to see that person's picture, gravestone, marriage record, obituary, etc. Most pictures of people are from 1930 or before, and more will be added as time and availability permit. Some of this (picture) text will be a word in a sentence, where you find buried in ... or ... married on ... That (picture) text indicates that there will be a gravestone picture or a picture of the marriage record, etc. Generally, you should be able to tell whether the picture is of a person, grave, marriage record, etc from where the (picture) is in the biography.
