Subject: Re: [CARSON] Carson Transcription Errors
Those that transcribe the census do make errors and
little r's and s's look alike, as do a's and o's.
Unfortunately, that's the Carson name! Carron and
Casson are all legitimate names, Corson and Carsan too
(though I don't think they're popular). Casson and
Corson are probably the top two errors. But don't
forget Karson, soundex won't help you with that one,
though I've rarely seen it (I had a Kierson once).
When you just KNOW someone is there, I've tried
searching by their first name, age, and place of birth
and left the surname blank.
Best regards,
Stephanie
