You are so right Euel. I have found many names misspelled in the Ancestry.com censuses. Another drawback is that sometimes they don't use first names but initials. Esther M.

Ancestry is redoing all the census with American workers. Church of Latter Day Saints and others are working with them to correct the horrible transcription. I noted yesterday they had a posting --NEWLY transcribed 1910 census. Linda ----- Original Message ----- From: Esther M.
