I have completed a detailed name index for the BMD columns in the Carlisle Patriot transcriptions for 1816. I have not indexed the other articles I transcribed. As it is only for one year, the BMD index does not contain a very large number of entries, but I hope it is still useful.
There are four BMD indexes: Births (containing 75 entries), Marriages (1259 entries), Deaths (967 entries), and Others (585 entries).
The "Others" index contains the names of persons mentioned in the marriages and deaths columns that were not the persons who were married or had died, e. g. their relatives or the officiating minister.
If you find a relevant entry in the index, you are always advised to look either at the transcription or at the original newspaper as there may well be more details than are contained in the index.
Please look at the Introduction page of the index first - it explains who and what is indexed, the rules I have followed, abbreviations etc.
You are welcome to download the index to your computer to use for your own research or to do lookups for others. It is in Microsoft Excel 2013. However, please do NOT republish the whole index or part of it in any form, online or otherwise, without my permission.
Have fun!
