Many census records have been indexed by surname. Some indexes cover one parish (and will be listed in the Wiki on the parish page) and some indexes are for the county as a whole. The Family History Library has county-wide census placename indexes for Dumfriesshire for 1881.
An electrocardiogram â abbreviated as EKG or ECG â is a test that measures the electrical activity of the heartbeat. With each beat, an electrical impulse (or âwaveâ) travels through the heart. This wave causes the muscle to squeeze and pump blood from the heart.
What Is an Electrocardiogram? An electrocardiogram (e-lek-tro-KAR-de-o-gram), also called an EKG or ECG, is a simple, painless test that records the heart's electrical activity. To understand this test, it helps to understand how the heart works. With each heartbeat, an electrical signal spreads from the top of the heart to the bottom. As it travels, the signal causes the heart to contract and pump blood. The process repeats with each new heartbeat. The heart's electrical signals set the rhythm of the heartbeat.
