Title: Census records
Post by: Genemum on Friday 13 January 17 15:41 GMT (UK)

I have been working on my family tree for about 3 years, and have just learned another valuable lesson about census records, don't trust the translators of the old hand writing!  Have been searching for a wrong name as I didnt study the original and the name Eurtan should have read Eustace!

where possible always study the original where possible :)

We all learn that the hard way!

Yep, will not make that blunder again.  This genealogy is a tricky past time .
