** Transcriber's Notes **
Please Note: The letters "r" made by this Enumerator, whether at the end of
a name/word or in the middle, frequently looked like "n"; "v" in "Nov"
occasionally resembled "r"/"n" -- please keep this in mind as such an
occurrence might be hard to detect within a name. The same can be said for
letters "b"; "Feb" looked like "Feh". Combination "th" often occurred with
the "h" crossed and the "t" very short, resembing a closed "e"; the same may
be the case for at least surname #167 with a possible "..tl.." combination:
the "l" is crossed and the "t" (IF indeed this is the case) resembles a
closed "e". Letters "W" sometimes resembled "N", "M".... An "8" sometimes
looked like "1" or a closed "0".
Columns above represent name, relation, color, gender, birth month, birth
year, age, marital status, years married, number of children, number of
living children, birth place, father's birth place, mother's birth place,
year of immigration, years in United States, occupation, months unemployed,
months at school, can read, can write, can speak English, home or farm.
Columns omitted are naturalization, home owned or rented, home owned free or
mortgaged, number of farm schedule. All employees are single, can read, can
write, can speak English unless otherwise noted. There are no entries in
literacy columns for any inmates. All employees were unemployed for 0 months.
In the Relation column: From lines #3-26 inclusive, "Employees" is written
in large letters down the column. From lines #27-175, "Inmates" is written
in large letters down the column. For the occupation column, for #27-175,
"At School" is written in large letters down the column - the notation made
by the Enumerator was "The remainder of the three sheets are 'at School'".
For column "Attended School" (in months), "8" was entered for #27-28 and
#31-34, then followed with ditto marks for #32. It is unclear whether this
notation was intended for the remainder of the list.
Transcriber used the abbreviations Conn for Connecticut, R Isl for Rhode
Island, Switz for Switzerland, N York for New York, Can Eng for Canada Eng,
S Amer for South America, N Jer for New Jersey, Del for Delaware, N Cal for
New Caldonia, Mary for Maryland, Virg for Virginia, N Bruns for New Brunswick.
Other abbreviations are as on original document.
