This census is here as a guide for you to use in your research. Old handwriting is wide open to interpretation. The spelling of your surname has also changed over time. If you find your surname with a different spelling, this may be a clue. You may be missing other documents because you haven't yet checked every possible spelling of your surname.

The transcription of this census has been done as carefully as possible, but you may find errors. PLEASE, you are given the microfilm reels above, it is your responsibility to accurately document your family. Do not rely solely on this or any other type of publication because everyone interprets hard to read handwriting a little differently. Go to the original source yourself and check. Microfilm can be rented for a minimal cost from your local LDS library, the National Archives, Interlibrary loan and other rental agencies.
