Hi guys, I was cleaning up my old Genuki files and found this: The following is a real note sent from a census taker in the 1800's to the government which may explain why a lot of us have variations in the spelling of names: Centsus Rekurds - "I am a cencus taker for the city of Bufflow. Our city has groan very fast in resent years and now, in 1865, it has becum a hard and time consooming job to count all the peephill. Thare is not meny that can do this werk, as it is necesarie to have a ejucashun, which a lot of pursons still do not have. Another atribeart needed for this job is good speling, for meny of the peephill to be caounted can hardle speek inglish, let alone spel there name." Gail in MO O'Possum the Lost
