    3. This name is an example of a name that has errors in transcription from script on the census and other forms. I could imagine that the name would look like 'pa-' and then a series of loops and peaks that could be anything. Those would be interpreted to be whatever the transcriber is more familiar with. Something like one of those psychological ink blot tests. -Cyndi
