Here are some tips on how to find (or browse) information on this blog site.

Index of people
This page lists all the people mentioned on the site for whom I have created tags. This is a quick way to access all posts associated with a specific person; browsing this page also lets you know whether the site contains content pertaining to a specific individual.

There is a link to the “Index of people” page on the top menu bar, next to “About.”

Browse by tag
Each post is associated with one or more tag. A tag is an identifier, for example, the name of an individual person, such as “Michael G Eberlein (1880-1952)”. The “Michael G Eberlein (1880-1952)” tag groups together all the posts on the site that pertain to Michael G. Eberlein — photographs, newspaper articles, vital records, anecdotes, etc.

Tags are displayed on the left side of each post; click a tag to see all the posts that are associated with that person.
