In my first census ...This is an interesting study. In my first census experience, I was looking for my ggrandfather, Bonaventura Bianchi. I finally found the family enumerated as surname Vantura and given name Biancqi. I knwe where they were located and read page after page of the images until I found it. A more recent experience was finally finding my ggreatgrandfather, Thomas Noble in the 1900 Census. I thought this was such a simple name and two easy to mess up. Wrong! I found it using some of those advanced search techniques you spoke about listed as Thomas Koeble. I heartily agree with you that errors can be introduced at any point in the process and dumping blame on just one aspect is unfair. The other point in the process you left out is the searcher. I noticed that as I got more experienced in searching, I had better results.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00064329229537398807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-47536192936158040542007-11-01T19:32:00.000-07:002007-11-01T19:32:00.000-07:00O3CM4J The best blog you have!O3CM4J The best blog you have!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
