Clair, Please don't look at misinformation as misleading to anyone. Yesterday I was helping a lady who lives in MI track down her g-grandmother in OH, and all she knew was the name, her husband's name, that she died in 1910, and they moved around alot. Their names were Silas and Emma. I found them in the 1900 census with no problem. However, they are in the 1910 census as Scilal and Erma. The names of their children helped me identify them and from there I found Emma's, Silas', and one of her children's graves, with birthdates inscribed. One of the first things I learned was to look for ANY possible spelling variation (there are at least 8 for my McWhorter line). The second thing I learned is that census takers back then didn't always get it right. Even if you transcibe it according to the record, it may have been written down wrong. For those of us from other states, we would be truely thankful to all of you who are willing to help get this information online!

Hi Claire and anyone else hesitant to volunteer as a transcriber, > MY problem copying would be some parts are illegible and I would hate to mislead > someone. I have been involved with doing the entire state of AZ for the 1910 census, so I have plenty of experience with problems reading the censuses. I have been chatting with Anita on this Monmouth County project, based on my experience with the AZ project.. PLEASE DO VOLUNTEER even if you are afraid that you would not be able to read something. There will be a set of instructions given for how to list names you cannot read, etc. For example, We used this system - we put the part in brackets that we could not read. ie BRA<>ET this means we could not read the letters between A and E ie BR<>CK<>T this means we could not read the letters between R and C and K and T ie <>CKET this means we could not read any letters before the C ie BRACK<> this means we could not read any letters after the K ie <> this meant we could not read anything By listing the names this way, there is always the chance that the person(s) proofreading can make out the entire name. This happened many times with our AZ project. Anita still needs lots of volunteers, so everybody please volunteer. The 1910 Monmouth County census has about 65 ED numbers. Cindy, Mesa, AZ

Hello Anita and all, For those who are interested in transcribing AND who live in Monmouth County, our FHC in Eatontown has Monmouth County Census tapes in their permanent collection. I am not sure which years, but I would be surprised if 1910 was not there. I will check this out and get back to the list. If 1910 is in the permanent collection, then there is no cost associated with reading the tapes.

Hi again Linda, Well, we have gotten pretty far on the other branches, but the Soden has been the hardest nut to date. We took forever to get past my grandfather (Ambrose Jr). But we were rolling right along for a little while there. It would probably go easier if our local LDS were more accessible, but such is life. I rely a great deal on people living in NJ to help me out, and I have my mom there still who makes the many phone calls etc. I try to come up quarterly and walk the cemeteries and such. I am hoping my next trip to make a hunting expedition through the archives. So, back to the question, we don't have certain street names etc on Robert and Henrietta yet. We have a definite area for my mom's time frame, which is Prospect Heights for Ambrose' and his children. They were Methodist Episcopalian. Ambrose was a machinist by trade (this is Ambrose SR), Robert held a variety of trades from Sawyer to laborer. We do know that Robert was in the civil war, 14th NJ infantry Co H, and Ambrose Sr was in the Spanish American War serving from 1898-1902. We have no idea of the religion for Robert and Henrietta, as they were married by a Judge. They apparently were married in Freehold, but resided in Englishtown. I am also hoping to find Robert and Henrietta in the 1895 state census, but haven't gotten access to that one yet. I didn't find them in the 1900 to date, but that could be operator error. I believe, due to pension request made by the widow, that Robert was alive until 1901/2, which would make him about 60 years old. The Spanish American War medal may even have been his, and not son Ambrose'. I have a web page, that is kept fairly up to date, lol. Feel free to visit it if you like, the url is: http://home.earthlink.net/~jt1161/GenealogyPage/GenealogyPage.html You should be able to just click on that. Let me know if you want an email outline of the family name. Apparently, Soden's have been in the Monmouth and Middlesex area since the early 1700's that we know of. You are likely to see mention of them occasionally. Thanks for the interest!

Hi Linda, and all. I am from the Soden line that originated in Middlesex (as far as I can tell). Our Robert R. Soden initially resided in Freehold as far back as I can trace him. I haven't gotten his birth yet, but he was married in Freehold by F. Chandler to Henrietta Sherman on May 28th, 1862 There is a birth record for twins born in Monroe Twp indicated these two as the parents, on 1 Mar 1868. The next record found is for the birth of twins Ambrose and Melvina 22 Dec 1869 in Manalapan. In 1870 we have him listed in the Manalapan census (Pg 14) with his wife and children Jarvis W. , Violia (sic), and the twins Ambrose/Melvinia. In 1880 is when he shows up in Matawan on the census (page 21) with wife and children Jarvis, Valriah, Ambrose, Melvinia, Caroline, Julia, Jennetta, Gertrude. Anyway, as you can see they are all Monmouth County all the way so far. Ambrose moved to Trenton in 1892 when he married Mary Ann Gaskill (d.o. Samuel Gaskill and Deborah Matthews). I personally don't think I've ever even visited Matawan, or Manalapan for that matter. I live in Virginia. But, I have just slews of ancestors and relations in the Mercer and Monmouth area's, lol. Well, I imagine I gave you more info than you desired. Happy Hunting!!

HI, I would be interested in Bedle, Joseph and Thomas. Thank you so much for your offer. Pat

Hi, I go to the Bishop Library in Toms River which has Fed.census for NJ I have only used 1850-1880, 1900, 1910, & 1920. Earlier ones only give head of household and enumerate males and females by age groups. MY problem copying would be some parts are illegible and I would hate to mislead someone. Some of the names if you don't know what you are looking for, you would never guess what they are. Claire in Howell.

I received this through another list and with all the talk of the census this really struck home for me. CENSUS TAKER It was the first day of census, and all through the land; The pollster was ready ... a black book in hand. He mounted his horse for a long dusty ride; His book and some quills were tucked close by his side. A long winding ride down a road barely there; Toward the smell of fresh bread wafting, up through the air.

She gave him some water ... as they sat at the table; And she answered his questions ... the best she was able. He asked of her children...

We can almost imagine his voice loud and clear; "May God bless you all for another ten years." Now picture a time warp ... its' now you and me; As we search for the people on our family tree.

this book has information on things that happened,buildings and sometimes peoples names. it is NOT a record of all matawan happenings- the names i put in the list are mentioned in maybe one sentence, maybe if we are lucky a paragraph but it is not the list of names, dates or anything similar. i dont have that kind of info. so if you see a name you have related or just want to know, i will send it on to you. please stick to the names i list -if i go out of order,it will just get too confusing for me to do it w/ my head injury. bear with me- im happy to offer what i have as i can-once i get to it, i may be able to copy a few pages a day and send them off. no promise on that yet tho. just names listed-thanks linda Date: 03/24/2000 4:45:55 PM Eastern Standard Time From: LindaBch To: NJMONMOU-L@rootsweb.com CC: NJ-L@rootsweb.com names only today and not all of them! lol=sorry- ALEXANDER,REV.
