The two cemeteries are nowhere near each other (I have relatives in both and I live nearby).  Greenwood is in Twp of Hamilton and almost in Trenton and the two Ewing cemeteries (Ewing and Ewing Presbyterian Church) are in the Twp of Ewing.  Look for Mercer Airport and you'll find the two cemeteries across Scotch Rd from each other and just down the street from the airport. Ewing Cemetery has a very large fountain in the center. It's also not far from College of New Jersey.

Dear List, I came late to this discussion and will go back to Marlene Van Horn's not about transcription accuracy. As usual Marlene is right, it is very important that transcribers exercise their best efforts to write down exactly what was written - misspellings and all. I believe the rule also includes capitalizing the same random letters that the author capitalized, not putting in capital letters that the author did not capitalize (like words at the beginning of a "sentence" or even the personal pronoun "I"), and not adding apostrophes (or any other punctuation) not in the original. In fact, and this is my own take, I use italics or fonts that resemble handwriting when transcribing an original to signal the fact that it was handwritten (with the notes and bracketed material in a font like Times) and I will duplicate the paragraph layout as nearly as possible (even to the point of printing upside down notes that were upside down in the handwritten original). However, I believe that rule applies in its strictest sense only when transcribing an original document and is much less important with data sources. I feel no particular compulsion to write down all the lame misspellings created by census takers (or the people they talked to). I will sometimes give those misspellings in quotes, but once you've recorded the Year, Location, ED number, and page/sheet, it should be relatively easy to spot the misspelled entry. I think the point should also be made that the rule doesn't require you to create mysteries for your readers, it's perfectly acceptable to include, within editorial brackets, what you believe the word was actually intended to be. The accuracy rule has been satisfied, but you've given the reader the benefit of your familiarity with the text. These observations are hard won. Last year I transcribed some 74 Civil War letters with the transcriptions going online in connection with two different university collections.

What I don't understand is why the transcribers so often choose the more unlikely reading of unclear handwriting.  For example, in the 1900 census one ancestor's first name could have been read as either Bosa or Rosa from the handwriting. The transcriber wrote "Bosa." In 1910, the same ancestor's first name could have been either Rora or Rosa from the handwriting. The transcriber picked "Rora." Only in 1920 was the name written clearly enough so the transcriber correctly wrote "Rosa." Some people do have weird names, but really!   Judy ________________________________ From: Marleen Van Horne <msvnhrn@jps.net> To: njhunter@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, April 3, 2012 2:21 PM Subject: Re: [NJHUNTER] Family Search The reason the enumerators did not ask how the names were spelled is that many people could not read, write or spell. I was told when I first started my research that was the reason enumerators did not ask, which may be an urban myth. When transcribing original documents, you do not write what YOU think it should be, you do your best to transcribe what is actually on the paper.   You ability to do this depends on the clarity and the quality of the material you are transcribing. I am a CONGLETON descendant.  I have found this surname in the census with the following spellings: 1810.....Kunkleton 1820.....Concleton 1830.....Conkitton 1840.....Conklinton 1850.....Kankleton, Cankleton 1870.....Concklington Even for my own surname, I have to search Vanhorn, Vanhorne, Van Horn and Van Horne. Transcribers are not editors, their job is to transfer letter for letter what is on the original document.

Bill, I just saved your pdf of the census index for Flemington. One problem--your name does not appear on it. Your name should show up on each page. After all, you did the work.

Hi Pam, Thank you for the information. I've got 11 families that had their address recorded as "Railroad Ave." I know the location well, since I used to help the railroad men turn the engines around on the old turntable, which you had to push, it was not mechanical. For the life of me, I can't recall many houses on that road. It was not paved, I don't think, until they built Turntable Junction. It must have made a left turn when down by the other tracks that went towards Bodine's Lumber Yard off Mine St. Is it possible that when War II broke out, the foundry had to expand and they took down some of those houses? I don't believe there are 10 or so houses on Fulper Road today? I lived on Park Ave. & Bonnell St. until the early 1950s, when I went off to college, got married, lived elsewhere for a time before moving to Delaware Tp. early in 1970, so I know my way around Flemington - at least until they started to mess with all the vacant land, where we used to play when kids! Again, thanks for the tip, I did think it had to parallel one of the railroad tracks in town. By the way, there were 3 different R.R.s at one time - the Lehigh Valley; Central R. R. and the Penn, which bought out the Flemington R. R. which ran down to Ringoes and Lambertville.

It might now be Fulper Road. There is an old railroad station that was turned into a restaurant about 10 years ago for a short time, that was on the corner of Main Street. So heading south from the circle, you pass Grant Street on your left, then Church Street, then cross over the old railroad tracks now used by the Black River & Western Railroad, and turn left on to Fulper Road. My mother-in-law says that was Railroad Avenue when she was a girl. She grew up on Dewey Avenue which is off Mine Street, a few blocks away. She is 93 years old and a gold mine of information!
