Adventures in Indexing

[Carborendum]

I thought it might be fun to mention interesting, weird, and fabulous things discovered while indexing.

I just came across a name:  Julius O. Cesares  (Sounds quite a bit like Julius Octavius Caesar).

I found interesting marriage ages: 

• Largest age gap: 17 years.  I believe it was amid to late 20s woman to an early to mid 40s man in England.
• Youngest age for marriage: 15 (late 1800s in Wisconsin) to a 28 year old husband.

Largest number of "children now alive" : 13

I was doing military discharge rosters.

I came across one James T. Kirk.  Unfortuantely he was a Sgt.  not a Captain.

In the same list there was a Leonard and a William (abbv Wm).  But no Nimoy or Shatner.

Not that I recall.

Come to think of it, There have been very few Mc --- anything.  I recall some Mc... in some land title lists.  But no McCoys or even Kelleys.

I indexed the name of Fanny Smoker.  I was wondering if her parents didn't like her.
