    Surname Index

    A link to the new Surname Index is found in the footer (the links near the bottom of the page) on each page of OneGreatFamily.com. This new index is a way to browse through the names available on OneGreatFamily and see what information is available for these individuals.

    You can typically see birth and death information if such information is available. Subscribers can also use this index to view or add information on the ancestors they find. Subscribers can add source information, submit biographies, or upload photos for their favorite ancestors.

    You can begin by visiting the Surname Index page. You then select the beginning letter for the last name you are researching. You will then see a list of two-letter combinations for the first two letters of the last name. After clicking on the right two-letter combination, you will see a list of three-letter combinations. After you choose the right three-letter combination, you will see a list of matching names.

    The new Surname Index will be updated on a weekly basis. Subscribers can see immediate updates through the Genealogy Browser after logging in.

    Visit the new Surname Index to discover which of your ancestors can be found at OneGreatFamily.com.
    Subscribe to OneGreatFamily to be able to be able to enjoy the full Surname Index, including viewing and submitting information on the individuals found in the Surname Index.
