The following is an index of surnames that appear throughout Emilie’s diary. Emilie tends to refer to individuals by their surname more than their first name. She even refers to individuals by their profession – Teacher Eckermann, Missionary Kuchel, Pastor Nickel, Student Backen – making it very difficult to construct an index of full names.
Some of the names may have been misspelt in transcription, or misspelt by Emilie herself. To increase the historical value of this list, names that may be misspelt are included for ease of access to the text.

One reply on “It’s all in a name…”
What a fantastic list of the old names of the district who featured in the everyday lives of the Appelt Family and of Eudunda and the District. The book is a marvelous resource for everyone interested in Eudunda’s history. Well Done Samuel.
