Record details

Second edition of the WPA index, and an index only: each entry is a name, dates, a one- or two-word profession, and coded page references resolved by the volume’s own bibliography. Read from OCR in which the family surname is garbled in all five Gemunder entries — “GERMUNDER” in four (August Martin, Charles H., Oscar A., Rudolph) and “GERMUMDER” in George’s — whether the typescript itself misprints the name or the OCR inserted the letters cannot be settled without a page image. Its George entry reads “(1816-1899). German violin-maker. G; J; P; A 198, 228; AH 332-3; Ho 347-9 (incl.port.)” — keys resolving to Grove’s American Supplement (1930), Jones’s Handbook, Pratt’s New Encyclopedia, Ayars (1937), Hubbard (1908), and Howe’s A Hundred Years of Music in America (1889), the last with a portrait. Of those six works, only Hubbard is on disk.

Everyone this source names

This document prints 67 names. A name found this way is the weakest thing this site records: the book names the person, and nothing more is said. It is not a line in a record — the lines that actually rest on this source are listed above, each with its own confidence. 9 of the names below reach a record on this site; lines from this source have been written for 1. The rest are names and nothing else — which is an honest description of the evidence, and an invitation: if you know one of these makers, we want to hear from you.
