ABBREVIATIONS used:  dgt=daughter, bdr=boarder, svnt=servant, IL=in law, moth=mother, fath=father, neph=nephew, stp=step, adpt=adopted, gr=grand (like gr son= grandson), sis=sister, bro=brother

PLACE OF BIRTH:  Instructions to the enumerator was to put county of birth, if born in New York State, put state name only if born out of NYS but within the USA, and put country only if born outside of NYS.  Therefore, Washington=NYS county, WA=state of Washington, DC=Washington DC, Albany=Albany county, NYC=New York County (Manhattan).  Of course, like anything else, at times the enumerator put in a city and/or town.  If he did, we also used it.  Also, at times he put in NY, could be county or state.

AGE:  The enumerator of this ward made it very difficult to discern the age of young people.  He was suppose to write 3 2/12  for a child who is 3 years plus 2 months old.  He did at times.  However, at other times, the wrote 32/12 and some of the transcribers took it to mean 32 months or 2 years 8 months old.  So, please add/subtract a year or two when looking at the ages of young children and don't it as exact age because there maybe some mistakes.

RELATIONSHIP:  The enumerator wrote 'child' instead of son or daughter for many of the entries.   Some of the transcriber used the 'child' designation because that was exactly what was said.  Others, put son or daughter because the census gave the sex of the child.  So, you will find both and for most names, if it says child, you will be able to figure out son or daughter.

DISTRICTS:  EAST= East of 5th Street; WEST= West of 5th Street to the Hudson River

ADDITIONAL NOTES:  You will find many ?? in our transcription.  They are there because we were not 100% sure of the entry and we have interpreted them to the best of our ability.  Also, you will find a number of (sic), this means we recognized the enumerator made a mistake but we are transcribing exactly as written.  This happened a number of times with the spellings of surname.  He would spell the first one and then the succeeding ones differently from the first.  While it has been checked against the film of of the census, first by the transcriber and then by the webmaster who put all the pages together, the film was not in the greatest condition plus there were many ink smears and mistakes were probably made, therefore, try many spellings of your surname and only use this as a reference, not a source document.  Always refer to the film or original census for accuracy.
