Dear Fellow Tri-countians, Creative spelling is giving me a problem. I think I have found an ancestor on this census. He is listed as "Joseph Cananon". If it's who I hope it is, the spelling is "Kinnan". Don't know who couldn't spell - the ancestor or the census enumerator. I'd say the latter because the correct spelling appears in records before and after this date. It is a pain to have to search name-by-name because these misspellings don't come up in a computer search. I know, I know, I should be glad for small favors, like not having to read the manuscript writing line-by-line. Just needed to vent! Another frustration is when transcribers make spelling errors. I found an ancestor in a cemetery listing but his name was wrong. The stone is clear, readable and CORRECT! The transcriber, (either the one reading the cemetery, or the one typing it) wrote Kin"M"an. In this case I already knew Kinnans were in that cemetery, I'm glad I wasn't searching for them out of the blue. Thanks Kelsey & Joyce for getting this census info online for us. Can't wait for the next one. Lee Kinnan Fazzari Aurora, IL
