Note:

Throughout the register, a number of conventions are used to represent abbreviations of surnames. These include:

. A period.

{a-} I have used this notation to represent an "a" with a line over it.

{e-} I have used this notation to represent an "e" with a line over it.

) I have used this notation to represent a stroke that begins at the bottom of the previous letter and continues upward, curving back upon itself.

{f~} I have used this notation to represent an "f" with a tilde over it.

{...} I have used braces, { }, to indicate other unusual character situations that cannot easily be represented in HTML. After each, I have placed an explanation in square brackets, [ ].
