HOW TO USE THE MILITARY RECOGNITION BOOK SPREADSHEET

Names:

• The names are listed alphabetically by surname (last name), as they appeared in the Military Recognition Book that they were published in.
• Women are often listed under their married names with their maiden names in brackets.  It is often best to search under their married names.

 

Years:

• The year listed is the year that the book was published.

 

Pages:

• The page number listed is the page on which that particular veteran can be found in the book.  Digital copies will be off by a couple of pages because they count the cover page and table of contents as pages.  Use the numbers at the bottom of the “book pages” to find the appropriate page.

 

To Find Someone:

• Use the scroll bar on the right side of the spreadsheet to scroll through the names:

• OR use the “Find” function:

1. At the top of your page, under the address bar, go to the “Edit” tab, click it, and go down to “find” or “find on this page.”  (Or, you can hit Ctrl “F” instead of going to the “Edit” tab).

 

2.  A little screen will pop up OR a little bar to write in will come up on your screen.

 

 

3.  Type in the name that you are looking for (last name is usually best).  As you are typing, the matches will turn yellow.

4.  If you hit the “next” button (or your enter button), it will find the next match of what you had typed.
