This page replaces the old Surname Registry, which was alphabetized by researched surname. We have a lot more researched surnames than researchers, so this arrangement allows everything to fit on one page. I think it is easier to scan down the second column of this table, to see if any of your surnames are here, than to click through 26 pages.

When the prior coordinator took over this website in November, 2011, it was already in great shape. The Surname Registry was one big project that I had put off until now. It had 646 entries, counted by (researcher, surname) pairs. I sent emails to every researcher, and found that almost all of the email addresses were returning error messages or not responding. Several of those who did respond gave me additional surnames and other information. We are now, at last count, down to 58 researchers, with 196 surnames.
