Name Index (see file attached to record): Index of personal names appearing in the records of Dalgonally Station in the years 1917? - 1933?
Entries are by surname, except in cases where only a given name appears in the station records. If an employee is not located under surname, check under his or her given name which will appear in the surname column if that was the only name recorded. Chinese names are listed in station records in a variety of ways. While, for example, the Chinese name Ah Foo Chang is likely to be indexed under C, variations occur. It is advisable to check the index under all elements of a Chinese name.
Documents written in the past may use words and descriptions when referring to Indigenous or other peoples which would be considered inappropriate today. Where station records have referred to employees by such terms, this terminology has been reflected in our notes. We have retained these terms in the interests of accuracy and regret any offence they may cause.

A question mark -? - indicates that the writing in the original is unclear or that the date is unknown or unclear.
