A project has started to provide a full names index of the repository. It has currently nearly 10,000 index entries. Note that there are about 1,00,000 deeds between 1708 and 1833 with a minimum of four people mentioned in each. Thus there is a long way to go. The project also seeks assistance from volunteers to add to the project.
