35 l i n INDEX. There Was some question as to the best mode of preparing this index, inasmuch as there are so many variations in spelling the cognomens as Well as the baptismal names in these records. Those entering the names in the records appear to have exercised their own judgment as to orthography, and frequently varied it without apparent reason. If all the names were indexed separately, just as they appear in the records with the original spelling, it is evident that the Work of tracing family lineages by the unskilled searcher would be greatly increased. It was concluded therefore that it would facilitate reference by embracing under one heading all names evidently belonging to one family, and indexing them, as far as practicable, under that form Which now seems to be in most com- mon use. i p i It is' also to be observed that most of the early Dutch families were not regularly entered under their family name until many years later. They were mostly known by their patronymic. For in- stance the Heemstraats will have to be looked for, sometimes, under Dirks or Takels, the Groesbeeks under Claasze, the Van der Poels under Wynandtsz, the Van Deusens under Teuisz, the Van Beurens and Vroomans under Meesz or Maas, the Van Bergens under Gerrits, etc., etc. , Appended Will be found a list of the most numerous variations in the surnames that appear in these records: Barens, Barents, Barentsz, Barent.
