Registration

Registration covers the period 1788–1851 (volumes AIbi:2–8). The period 1781–1787 (AIbi:1) has not been registered because the original material is hard to interpret, meaning that the quality could not be guaranteed.
   All registration has maintained the spelling, abbreviations and language of the original documents. This means that the database is only as accurate as the original material.
