They are not well kept. Organized chronologically, they consist little more of listings of births marriages, and deaths per year. The newer records, by Brother Albert and the two or three priests before him, have at least reserved a page or two per year, and have kept better track of who was related to whom. As the records go back further, they become increasingly cramped together and family lines are not traced as well. Looking at the oldest records, Visha sees what Brother Albert meant about the previous settlement- many of the early records are obituaries, presumably indicating that there were existing families here before the records were kept.One other thing that Visha notices is that, despite the poor organization of the early records, the front few pages of the book had been set aside for records of the Lohgin family, who have evidently served as the town's protectors since the beginning. There are also a number of pages set aside for this in the most recent book, but Brother Albert records that Keld Lohgin (the most recent knight-protector) was the last of the line.As for family connections with the plague, Visha notes that the plague does seem to have effected related people. He suspects this is because they were living in the same house and exposed to the sickness. He does not see any obvious connections between different families who were afflicted.</blockquote>
