Original message: >Andrew Hayer and Ellen Daniels obtained a marriage license on Sept. 26, 1876. Did he have two wives??> Like other ethnic groups, Scandanavians often Americanized their names after they immigrated. I wonder if Olean either changed her name to Ellen, and then the census taker misunderstood because of the accent of the informant. Or did the census taker simply misunderstand Olean? Olean--Ellen--Helen: just a guess.
