... sure is.

But then I got confused with 1861 census listing where John CHARLES was "masquerading as"
Charles GRENHANGEN ... birthplace (looks like
"Breden" ) ?
Revisting 1861 census I can now see >

> ... the first letter of his birthplace
IS actually an
" S " ... but this "
S " has been struck through with what looks like and enumerator's " checking mark "? ... and as such, makes this " S " look like a capital " B " !!
