The index lists places in alphabetical order and gives the page number listing each place under its estate. You can also look up which villages/towns were in a particular estate, if you are trying to narrow down where a particular ancestor may have moved to, or decipher other village names in an entry. Also included is the name of the estate owner, other details such as the number of houses and inhabitants in that place, and the type of town and its characteristics (if it has a parish church, is a royal city, contains a castle, fortress, etc.) | |||
