TOPICAL INDEX To CATAWBA COUSINS (Volumes 1 to 14) Compiled by Ray A. Yount December 1, 2000 INTRODUCTION This index of topics has been assembled to help researchers find specific topics in back issues of "Catawba Cousins", the journal of the Catawba County Genealogical Society (Volumes 1 to 14). Under each category, the topics are listed alphabetically by key word, name, or phrase. A particular topic may appear under more than one category, if appropriate. For the most part, exact titles of articles are not used. Titles may be shortened or modified to better reflect the article's content. For full-length articles or tabulations of original records, no attempt has generally been made to divide the material into sub-topics. However, for "fillers" or short articles such as newspaper or court record abstracts, each included item has been listed separately. Under the listed category of Book/Journal Reviews/ Announcements, publications by the Catawba County Genealogical Society have not been included since they are listed frequently in issues of the journal.
