    1. [PAGRE] Spelling names in Greene County, PA, 1850; missing Index 1870
    2. In the 1850 Census, the Greene County enumerator spelled "Wright" as "Right" throughout the county. There were about 5 Wright families who got their name spelled with a W. Perhaps they were picky and spelled it out for the enumerator. The Wrights had their names spelled correctly in 1860. But don't forget, there WERE some who chose to spell their surname without the W. For those who are considering requesting a search of the 1870 Census for anyone in Greene County, Ancestry.com still has not indexed it. Apparently their people overlooked an unknown number of counties across the US as they indexed the various Censuses. Ancestry.com advised me that they were working on these problems in order of the number of complaints received. I fear we will be near the end of their list.
