Hi Cari, the solution to the enigma is simple: the entries 48-58 on the first page are the last entries of the census of Stützheim, as I have verified it in the latter village. The censuses of various villages have been bound together, in alphabetical order. For what villages did you get "en deficit"? It might be that those villages were not a commune on their own, or that the censuses are lost.
