Regardless of which country you are researching, census records can help. There are issues when working with census records though. For example, human error and poor penmanship on the part of the census taker can change a name from Shirley to Sterling when captured by an indexer. Another issue sometimes found is when a census taker decided to use initials for first names. Can life get any more complicated when reading a list of common names and not even have the benefit of the full first name?
I appreciate the work that the census takers did and I am extremely happy when I come across a page which is nicely printed out with full names. It just adds to the frustration of finding those wanderlust relatives when census pages are hard to read.
Kathleen Hinckley’s book on Your Guide to the Federal Census has excellent tips on handwriting issues, these have saved me from many costly mistakes.
