TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES FOR ED:51
================================================================================
1.   Entries enclosed with brackets [   ] indicate that the entry was marked through.
2.   All spelling of Birthplaces are as recorded in census.
3.   All spelling of Occupations are as recorded in census.
4.   All spelling of Relationships are as recorded in census
5.   The bottom left hand corner, lines 48 thru 50, are hard to read on some pages. 
6.   Enumerator sometimes spells Virginia as Vaginia or Virgina.
7.   Enumerator sometimes spells Illinois as Illinoise or Illnois.
8.   During the tallying of the Census, marks were made over the name and relationship of the heads of households.
9.   Enumerator sometimes spells Kentucky as Kentuckey.
10.  The Marriage License Index I mention in the Transcriber Remarks, is a manuscript titled 
     'Gonzales County, Texas Marriage Licenses Issued 1829 - 1900', copyrighted in 1993 by Marjorie Lee Burnett.
11.  It is very difficult to determine which household the streets begin and end on.
12.  Enumerator sometimes spells Florida as Florada.
13.  This Enumerator's spelling is sometimes very bad.  I have transcribed his recordings as he spelled it.
14.  Enumerator uses a long dash as a ditto for Last names.  This ditto is sometimes used on every person living  
     in a household, even if that person has a different last name.
15.  Enumerator spells Missouri as Misouria or Missouria.
16.  Enumerator spells Louisiana as Louisana, Louisanna, Louisaina, & Louisania.
17.  Enumerator sometimes spells Indiana as Indianna.
18.  Enumerator sometimes spells Switzerland as Switzland.
19.  Enumerator spells Sweden as Sweedin and Sweeden.
20.  No street name's are recorded some pages.
21.  On some pages the family members are not carried over to the next page and are left out..   
     See end of pages 44B, 47B, 48A, 50B for example.  After page 42A every page begins with a new family and dwelling number.
22.  There seems to be a lot of children ages 5 or less who can not speak English,  even from educated families.
23.  Enumerator had a bad habit of not dotting his (i) or crossing his (t).
24.  I have a bad suspicion that this enumerator left off a lot of individuals.   
     I say this because each page starts with a new head of household and the last page just happens 
     to take exactly one-hundred people to complete.
