** Transcriber's Notes **

Columns above represent surname, forename, and middle initial or middle name, and title, if given, relationship to head, race,
gender, month of  birth, year of birth, age at last birthday, marital status, birthplace of person, birthplace of father, 
birthplace of mother, year of immigration, numbers of years in the U. S., occupation or profession, number of months person 
attended school, whether able to read, whether able to write, and whether able to speak English.

Columns not included in this transcription are street address, house number, dwelling visitation number, and family visitation
number. The census for this institution was the only census in this enumeration district and was listed as house number 3, dwelling
visitation number 1, and family visitation number 1. This transcription did not include the columns indicating number of years
married, number of children born to this mother, and number of these children living, because there were no responses recorded for
these questions.  The Marital Status column was omitted in this transcription because all persons in this census were Single (S).
The column for Naturalization Status was recorded for only one person and is included in the footnotes.  The column for number of
months unemployed was omitted for those with occupations because all were recorded as zero (0).

Abbreviations for United States birthplaces used in this transcription are as follows:  (Bos)for Boston, (BosMA) for Boston,
Massachusetts, (CA)for California, (Ch) for Chicago, (ChIL) for Chicago, Illinois, (DE) for Delaware, (IA) for Iowa, (IL) for 
Illinois (IN) for Indiana, (LA) for Louisiana, (MA) for Massachusetts, (MI) for Michigan, (MO) for Missouri, (MT) for Montana, 
(NJ) for New Jersey, (NY) for New York, (OH) for Ohio, (PA) for Pennsylvania, (SD) for South Dakota, (SL) for St. Louis, (SLMO)
for St. Louis, Missouri, and (WI) for Wisconsin.

Foreign countries and mother tongue (if given) were abbreviated as follows: (Asl) for Australia, (Boh) for Bohemia, (Can) for
Canada, (CanEN) for Canada and English as the mother tongue, (CanFR) for Canada and French as the mother tongue, (Eng) for England, 
(EN) for English, (Fra) for France, (FR) for French, (Ger) for Germany, (Hun) for Hungary, (Ire) for Ireland, and (Ita) for Italy. 
 
St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum
35th Street, 4th Ward
Southtown, Chicago, Cook County, Illinois   
This institution's dwelling number was not listed in the census. The enumerator listed the address as 35th St.  Based on the
proximity of the enumerations that were listed before and after this particular census, this institution could be in the 
vicinity of 35th St. and Lake Avenue.

  1  Forename is written over but could be Kenneth or Hanah. There are two marks after the forename that could be SR (Sister?)
     or SS (Sister Superior?). The year of birth and age are clearly written.  The date of immigration, however, which is also
     clearly written, would indicate having arrived in U. S. before this person was born.  The number of years in the U. S. 
     was blurred, but appears to be a six.  The year of immigration may have been recorded incorrectly, and may have been 1894.
     The Home Ownership section was recorded for this person as Owns Home.
  3  Probably Sr. (Sister)
  5  Forename could be Melania.  Occupation is written as Dress followed by the three letters ?er.
  6  Surname could be Tratt or Fratt.
 10  Surname could be Crineneisis or Chrissessinus. Birth month could be 3 or 8.
 11  Year of Immigration could be 1827 or 1837.
 13  First name could be Euphrasia or Euphrania. Relationship is written in full on census as Disciplinarian.

 49  Surname could be Crousin, Crowin, or Cronin.
 51  SD written as South Dacota on census.
 62  First name is probably Agnes.
 63  Date of birth is clearly listed as 1882, but the age recorded by the enumerator as 8 is crossed out
     in a different handwriting and changed to 18.  As this census has does not list any one else in this
     group of inmates over the age of thirteen, the age of 18 is questionable.  The more likely
     date of birth would be 1892 and the original age written by the enumerator would then be correct.
 72  Birth place of father is written as Jamaca followed by two initials that look like IJ or IT.
 83-85  Minnie, Rose, and Sarah Bentz are ancestors of Sandy Bolin. Any person(s) wishing to contact
     Sandy may do so via email by clicking on the link supplied above.
