Every attempt has been made to enter this data as exactly as recorded by the census taker. Even obvious spelling errors are not corrected. In some cases the original data is difficult to decipher because the original document had faded or the handwriting was illegible. As a result, there may be some mistakes. Most questionable names are flagged with a "?". If you find a discrepency between the original document and this data, please let me know so the data can be corrected.
