Doctrine and Covenants People
An alphabetical index of the persons named in the Doctrine and Covenants text, as adjudicated by the roster census — each entry gives the first occurrence, the text’s words there, and a one-clause identification, and links a fuller page where one exists. Where a verse addresses a man by his given name alone, the entry says where and on what basis the wiki attaches it.
Basis: this roster is built from the capitalized-token census defined by scripts/data/census-scan-spec.md (sha256 ce404dd4386b) over the verse lines of the Doctrine and Covenants books D&C 1–138 — 679 candidate types, of which 213 were machine-dropped as sentence-initial-only (the classifier flagged 229; 16 were rescued into the census by hand) and the rest adjudicated by hand (the person/place filter is lead judgment, never a script’s call); it yields the 207 person entries below, 1 of them by typed beyond-scan exemption for entities named without capitalization, which the scan cannot see by construction, and 3 of them headed by a name the section headnote gives where the verses give only a given name, each saying so (57 place entries live on the companion roster); the separate header pass ran and found no header-only entities.
Verses that address a man by given name alone are attached to him on the minor-figures page and on his own page, each on a stated basis (see how given-name addresses are attached).
Source text: the Doctrine and Covenants (verse text only; headnote text excluded — what a section headnote states of addressees, conduit, place or date appears only on generated lines cited to it, and a verse addressed by given name alone is attached to a man only on a generated line naming its basis).

How given-name addresses are attached
The Doctrine and Covenants often addresses a man by his given name alone — “my servant Joseph” (D&C 47:1), “my servants Ezra and Northrop” (D&C 33:1). The verse does not say which Joseph. By this roster’s census it happens sixty-four times, in fifty-four verses. Each attachment — on the minor-figures page and on the men’s own pages — is the wiki’s judgment that the verse means this man, on the basis its line states; the verse itself gives only the given name. Three bases exist, and every attachment names its own:
- The section headnote — the heading the current edition prints above a section, an editorial statement about the text and not the revelation’s words — where it names exactly one man of that name, or names him elsewhere in the heading: fifty-eight of the sixty-four.
- The record’s own words — a parallel passage the wiki reads as naming the same man on the same errand, or a section’s order of address set against the headnote’s list: two.
- The wiki editor’s judgment — where neither the verse nor the headnote names him in full, drawn from knowledge outside both, each marked on its line as the editor’s attachment with the date of the ruling: four; the smallest class and the one to weigh most carefully.
Three men — Northrop Sweet, Leman Copley, Lyman Sherman — are known by surname only from the headnote; their headings carry it and say so. A verse with no basis would stay on a shared entry under its bare name; none does today.
