Every Name Index
To read entries in the index, information on the name, volume and page number is given in this order, with semi-colons separating each data element:

Last Name; First Name; Middle Initial; Volume Number; Page number(s).

For Example:

Reeves; Samuel;;85;90

means that the name Samuel Reeves (with no middle initial) appears in Volume 85 on page 90.

If the name appears in more than one volume, an additional entry will be made. If there is no information in a given category, a semi-colon will still appear as in the example above where there is no middle initial.

That girl has Moxie!

stories_Juli_with_Moxie_1_2010

My name is Julianne Petrillo.  I am a freshman at Lancaster Catholic High School.  I enjoy learning about history, so I am volunteering this summer at LancasterHistory.org, Lancaster County’s Historical Society and President James Buchanan’s Wheatland.  At the Historical Society I volunteer in the archives department.  I studied receipts from a store in Lancaster during the 1920s.  I learned so much about items being sold back then and was amazed at how old some of my favorite snacks were such as Life Savers, Oreos, taffy, saltines, and Moxie.  At Wheatland I volunteer for special events giving tours as well as helping dust the antique furniture.  I enjoy working at the Historical Society and Wheatland very much and hope to be back next summer!
