The numbering could be messed up because the census taker didn't follow what
we would consider a reasonable route to complete his work. I was working on
a census the other day, a different year, but the census taker ended that
township I was working near the edge of the named township but not in a
corner, or end of the road, that is with me looking a plat map following
along. Who knows what they were doing back then when they set out to do
their job.
With the census coming up for us this coming year, think about leaving a
little note on your form for your generations to come. Maybe let them know
a little about you on the sides. Andrea
