I have added a few new indexes to the Surname Index page - specifically a list of M.P.s and other Parliamentarians, clergy, forerign service, local government, royal household, and others.

Next I would to create indexes to the names of the UK peers, and a separate index to other title-holders (hopefully not beyond my very basic Perl/HTML skills)!

Firstly:
I have now added an index page for the various dukes, earls, etc. currently in the database - these list are really only correct up to the current peerage I am working (presently Bath), with the rest of each list list subject to change, and addition.

The lists are not quite working to my satisfaction - I would like to split out each separate instance of a creation with the same title, rahter than lumped together [now fixed!] - but this requires much more processing of the list than my current coding skills allow. Also the ordering is not quite right, with the 10th Earl going first rather than 1st Earl. [also now fixed]

Secondly:
I have started to add a separate list as an index to the reigning kings and queens in the database. These lists will not be created automatically by perl script, but coded by hand (coding would be very hard, and once they are done, they're done). So this could take me some time, with the goal of having a seaprate lsit for every reigning ruler of a territory in Europe.

I have now added some indexes to the various awards and honours dished out to the individuals in my database.

Some of the various awards are not showing up in the right category as yet (e.g. foreign titles listed under military awards adn son on), but I'll work on it some more.
