When using printed transcriptions of records, it can be tempting to immediately turn to the index to look for those names that we hope to find. That can be a mistake. Published transcriptions may have only included selected records or were created from records that were incomplete to begin with. Those are details someone using the book needs to know and details that are not discovered if the preface is not read.
