    1. Re: [NCWARREN-L] Census Index
    2. Hi Nola, Will you be showing Surname, Given name, Pg# or just Surname, Pg #? >Most of the indices I have found have glaring errors. >No doubt I will make many of the same mistakes on Warren Co. because I >also can not tell what was intended by the writer. One that is >bothering me now is variations between Rudd (which some had >transcribed as Ruddae and one that may or may not be Rudd because it >looks more like Rudal but even then I can not tell what was intended. Suggestion - why not show what you see and what you think it should be in brackets and then do a cross reference. e.g..: Amerry (O'Mary), given name. Pg # O'Mary (Amerry), given name. Pg # Rudal (Rudd, Ruddae), given name. Pg # Rudd (Rudae, Ruddal), given name. Pg # Ruddae (Rudal, Rudd), given name. Pg # Don't forget that the "backwards f" followed by an s is actually ss. Good Luck, and here's to not too many complaints..... Happy hunting, Donna Once I get the list up, I promise that I will try to at least make the index correct once people on the list get a chance to look at it and help me with the intent of the census taker. I have had these images forever and have avoided posting them because I almost dred what I will have to do to correct the mistakes but I do think the list has the collective talent to make up for what I lack. At the moment I have everything done except sticking each image on a page. I have a "working index" to start with so hope all will help get this one as correct as possible. They should be online by tomorrow evening. Nola
