More from Tony Proctor on the problem of names in genealogy.

More from Tony Proctor on the problem of names in genealogy. I don’t agree with everything he says. Prosopography tackled this problem a generation ago and came up with a different strategy, but I’m starting to think Tony might be the guy who solves it for genealogists.

  • Tony Proctor, “The Game of the Name,” Parallax View, Aug. 29, 2014.

Revised Sept. 22, 2021 to add link.
