Granville county NC Federal Census - notes Please check the written (microfilm) record to make your decision regarding questionable birthplaces. Some ditto marks covered more than one page and were under a non-North Carolina birthplace, such as VA or Ireland. That was so unusual that I question the validity of the birthplaces shown for so many people listed continuously in the census record. I just bring to your attention that the possibility exists that the census taker MAY have forgotten to put NC in the column before putting in all the ditto marks. Rudy Moe, Transcriber
