Someone once told me that this book is not the book that the census taker carried around, house to house, but a copy of that list. If this is so, we know how we all make mistakes transcribing our notes. I took a college course on researching and that was one of the main rules.."Do the notes neatly and don't recopy them". Of course, we were supposed to carry a notebook with all the correct forms for our notes...most of us ended with spiral notebooks and we recopied our heads off! Back to the census, I think this is the way people were missed...he would turn two pages at once...and missed a bunch! In this case, I think he just started putting checks in the wrong columns...what were the following family? B or W?? Carleen
