Throughout the pages of The Diary of Simeon Perkins there are
many family surnames familiar to us in 1993 in Liverpool, Nova Scotia.
Not all the surnames have been included--many "old" names either moved
away, descendants have died, no sons to carry on the names or other
reason. Some names are listed on many pages, e.g. Collins, Doggett so the Surname Indexing will not be complete due to space.
