** Transcriber's Remarks **

Columns above represent: Name, Relation, month and year born, age, where born, where father born, 
where mother born, Year of immigration to the U.S., Number of years in the U.S., Naturalization,
occupation, months not employed, attended school (in months), can read, can write, can speak English,
and Ownership of home columns (i.e., owned or rented; owned free or mortgaged; house or farm; number of
farm schedule).

Columns omitted were: Color or Race - as all were white; Sex - as all were female; Marital status - as 
all were single ("S"); Number of years married, Mother of how many children, and Number of children still 
living: these entries for all persons in the above transcription were left blank by the enumerator in the
original document.

Please Note: This orphanage appears to have been housed in possibly two buildings: 555 and 561 Jersey Avenue.  
The "order of visitation numbers" (i.e., 'number of dwelling-house', and 'number of family'; these columns are
not shown in the transcription above) had initially been entered on Line 1 (#186 and #441 respectively), then 
crossed out and re-entered on Line 71.  New "order of visitation numbers" (#188 and #441, respectively) were 
entered on Line 3; on line 3, the "#188" was then very lightly crossed out.  In the column Occupation for person 
in Line 1, the notation "ng-o--o-o" is written; at the left of Line 1 and in the margin of the page is written in 
small lettering: "Sheet 21 line 23" which, in this transcription refers to Line 71 above.  The same notation (i.e.,
"ng-o--o-o"), is written just above the Occupation, Directress, for the person on Line 71.  By the same token, the
"Ownership of Home" columns appear only to be filled in for person on Line 71.  Please see Notes for Lines 1, 3, 
and 71, below.

In ALL cases, the dashed lines in the transcription above represent entries left blank by the enumerator.

This census was enumerated on the 12th and 14th days of June, 1900 by
David W. Jennings.  

Address for this orphanage for this census: "555 to 561" Jersey Avenue.

The Enumerator abbreviated January as "Jan" in some cases and as "Jany" in others; "February" was abbreviated as
"Feby".  The Transcriber abbreviated Connecticut as Conn and Pennsylvania as Penn.

  1  "Relation" for this person, "Head", is crossed out in the original document.  The two "order of visitation" columns
     (not shown in the above transcription) were filled in and then crossed out in the original document and re-entered on
     Line 71.  "Occupation" for this person has "ng-o---o-o" entered in the original document; the same reference can be
     found in the Occupation column for the person on Line 71 (the "Directress"), and may be a notation of some kind referring
     readers on Line 1 to "see below" (i.e., Line 71).  Please see Note in 3d paragraph of this section ("Transcriber's Remarks")
  7  In the column, No. of Years in the U.S., it looked like "Un" but might be a different word.
  9  Surname looks like "Coccie" but could be "Corrie".  In the column, No. of Years in the U.S., it looks like "Un" 
     but might be a different word or abbreviation. 
 12  Birth month for this person looks like "Jany" (for January), but could possibly be "July"
 20  In the column, No. of Years in the U.S., it looked like "Un" but but might be a different word. 
 25  Surname for this person looks like "Davisis" but could be "Devisis".
 28  Age of this person is hard to read.  It looks like "8" but could possibly be "7".
 31  Months not employed for this person is left blank in original document while the column for "attended school" has a "0" entered
     in it.
 33  Age for this person looks like 39 but could be 38; hard to read due to a writeover in the original document.  Months not 
     employed for this person is left blank in original document while the column for "attended school" has a "0" entered
     in it.
 34  In the column, No. of Years in the U.S., it looked like "Un" but but might be a different word.
 35  In the column, No. of Years in the U.S., it looked like "Un" but but might be a different word.
 36  Surname for this person could be Fulton, Falton, or Felton; second letter is not clear in the original document.
     In the column, No. of Years in the U.S., it looked like "Un" but but might be a different word.
 37  In the column, No. of Years in the U.S., it looked like "Un" but but might be a different word.
 41  Could be Ganghen, Gaughen, Gaughan, or something similar; the third letter and last vowel
     are hard to distinguish with certainty.
 42  Surname for this person is hard to read; could be Gibson, Gilson, Gibbon, or something similar.
 48  Surname for this person is hard to read; it looks like Gillym, Galym, Galum, or possibly Grim, Grym, Grymm, or Grimm 
     or something similar.  The "ff" in the surname on the line directly above, seems to interfere with a clear reading 
     of this surname for this person.
 70  In the column, No. of Years in the U.S., there is an entry of "Un" for this person, however, it is written extremely
     lightly and may actually have been written in error with an attempt at its eradication; nevertheless, the notation can
     still be seen.  As with the other persons with this notation, the entry looks like "Un" but may actually be a different
     word or abbreviation.
 71  In the column, No. of Years in the U.S., the entry looks like "Un" but but might be a different word.  For Occupation of this
     person, the notation "ng-o--o-o" is written just above "Directress"; "Head" is also written, very lightly, in the Relation 
     column for this as well, as are all three "Location" columns, i.e., house number, and the two order of visitation columns.
     The House number is given as "555 to 561"; the number of dwelling house as "186" and the number of family as "441".  This 
     person is the only person of those enumerated above that has an entry in the "Ownership of Home" columns and only one entry
     at that: "H" in the column "Farm or house".
 92  Birth year for this person is unclear in original document; could be either 1890 or 1891
 93  Months not employed for this person was left blank in the original document.
 98  Surname for this person might be O'Hallvon, O'Hallron, or O'Halleron.
100  Age for this person is very hard to read due to overwriting; looks as though it could be either 17, 16 or 14, possibly 13.
105  In the column, No. of Years in the U.S., it looked like "Un" but but might be a different word.
106  In the column, No. of Years in the U.S., it looked like "Un" but but might be a different word.
119  In the column, No. of Years in the U.S., it looked like "Un" but but might be a different word.
124  In the column, No. of Years in the U.S., it looked like "Un" but but might be a different word.
129  The first name for this person appears to have been abbreviated by the census taker as "Mat.",
     which could be short for "Matilda" or similar name.
130  The first name for this person appears to have been abbreviated by the census taker as "Ger.",
     which could be short for "Gertrude" or similar name.
