Warning- be sure to view the names via the image which the index picks out for you. I tried the name "Marmie". The index turned up names from Finland and Italy as the birth place of the individual listed. Smelling a rodent, I displayed the actual census image. God knows what the name was that Ancestry indexed, but it sure wasn't Marmie. As grandfather came over from France in 1778 as Pierre (Peter) Marmié, I knew they couldn't be right. And as grandfather was too poor to own slaves and the family started out in Pennsylvania where slaves were illegal, I believe that the mulatto from Virginia wasn't from our branch either. I knew some of the names the index cited. Moral- Look at the image yourself. Dont trust the interpreters or the character recognition software. Best, Allen D. McCrady
