Thank you again. Had not seen tax list. Steinman-- yes, the Stemman/n/s etc. family (and the Leger/e family) have really made me think about how handwriting looks and can be mistranscribed--and still I can't find my relatives in all the censuses even when they stay in one place! I've discovered "m" can be mistaken for "in" and "mm" for lots of things. :) And "Wdo" for widow is a new one for me!!! I have seen "Vve" for "veuve," sometimes mistranscribed as "Vue" -- and "Mrs." and also women under the husband's first name w/o "Mrs." ________________________________ From: "pleblan@aim.com" <pleblan@aim.com> To: acadian@rootsweb.com Sent: Tue, May 11, 2010 11:08:48 PM Subject: Re: [ACADIAN] Stemmann, Cyprien m. 1876 Opelousas Marie Octavie McBride Henri C in 1850 census age 33, 1817 (Self) reported name of Steinman = IN (I guess we have another (earlier) spelling) (I wonder if census taker knew of German coast Stein family) Born in Germany!!!!
