What this document records

What an index row gives

File and docket numbers, nothing else — no dates, no relationships, no places beyond the county. ⇒ the three Coopers here are names with file numbers, not identified people.

No connection is claimed

NOTHING TIES THESE OHIO COOPERS TO THE CATALOG'S FAMILY. Guernsey Co. is not a documented Cooper destination for this line, and the entry exists because the maintainer supplied the image, not because a link was found. Do not treat the surname as a lead.

The disambiguation hazard

AND THAT IS WHY IT IS KEPT. An Ohio "Cooper, J. C." or "Jacob B." turning up in a later search would look like a find; recording plainly that these are unconnected Guernsey Co. entries saves the question being re-opened.

Transcription and notes

Provenance, what an index row does and does not give, and the warning that no connection to this family is claimed are all in the source: and coverage: headers and are not repeated here.
