First, I want to thank the ladies at the Family History Center in
Porterville, CA for helping me figure out some of these names.  
They were a big help.


We made every effort to transcribe this census as accurately as
possible.  Some of the places of birth I have never heard of so I
looked them up on the internet to find out where they are.
Some of the towns no longer exist or might be in another country
that they were when our ancestors came over.


A few mistakes that were made.  
Hesse should be Hessen.
Wurtemberg should have been Wurtemburg.
Lippe Detemold should have been Detmold.
