With few exceptions, both microfilm rolls are easy
to read. The original
pages are well focused with good exposure.
There is usually good contrast between the
background paper and the dark
letterforms. Rarely are the names difficult to read because of fading
ink.
Nonetheless, ALL the usual
precautions about searching for surnames apply. The taking of the
census
involved many individuals, each of whom interpreted the names as they
heard or
read them. The spelling of surnames in the census books may not
correspond to
their modern spellings, either through the result of the natural
evolution of
the spellings over time or through errors on the part of the
enumerators and/or
transcribers.
For
example, the following names have been found in the Mercer census
records as
they were written in the census, and their modern equivalents:
Callahan
= written as Colahan
Kirby
= written as Hurly, Carby
Kennedy
= written as Canaday, Canedy
MacDonald
= written as MDonel
OÕNeil
= written as Onail
Perry
= written as Bearee
HINTS
FOR SEARCHING:
1)
Search for phonetically similar consonants:
for example: C and K, P and
B, W
and R, etc.
2)
Search under every vowel:
for example: Eckles = Accles;
Kirby = Kerbie, Karby, Kurbee
3)
If double consonants occur in the surname, always check under single
consonants.
Also consider the doubling of single consonants:
for example: Collins =
Colins,
Wilson=Willson, Allen = Alenn
4)
Always search under letters which appear similar when handwritten. In
several of
the townships, the
letters ÒSÓ,
ÒLÓ, and ÒTÓ, when occurring as a capital letters in the surname, can
be
difficult to differentiate - all 3 look nearly identical. If the
surnames you're
researching begins with ÒSÓ, ÒLÓ, and/or ÒTÓ, search the index under
all
three letters.
for example: Sailor = Tailor
[Taylor]
5)
Surnames in which the first letter(s) were illegible are grouped
together under
a separate index: (e.g.: *liff, **mp*hrey, etc).
