| Castor Association of America Ancestor Indexes |
| CAOA Online Indexes |
| |
Online Name indexes includes data entered by CAOA Preservation Partners, who dedicate their time to help us preserve the information that has been sent in by members of the Castor Association of America since 1983. The data comes in many forms including articles, census readings, scrap pieces of paper with a marriage, death or other information on it, historical documents, military records, birth/death/marriage documents. . . The goal is to not only preserve the fading documents, it is to create an index in which each person found in the Archive Files can be identified and linked to his or her ancestral family. |

| Work in Progress |
| |
THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. There are a few additions and corrections. The majority of the data is "as is found in the book". Some of the indexes will have a Reference LIDDID i.e.JMSCU.0 to identify the line each ancestor is from. It will be updated as soon as possible with each ancestor's own unique LIDDID as soon as possible.

| What are the LIDDIDs? |
| |
Each line has an alpha designator (LID) which is assigned to the oldest known ancestor.
The numbers following the alpha designator (LID) represents the birth order of each ancestor (DID).
Example:
JMSCU.0 is Irby Custer the oldest anscestor.
JMSCU.0.0? is James Custer who is a child of JMSCU.0 (Tobias). The "?" indicates that his birth order is unknown. If more that one child is known an alpha "a", "b" . . .is used as a place holder and does not indicate birth order.
JMSCU.0.0?.0?a is Elizabeth Custer who is the a child of JMSCU.0.0? (James).
Note: As time permits updates will be added and published online.
