    White
    Column 3
    Names are listed in the following order: Last, First, Middle. If several members of a family have the same last name, the last name will be listed in the first record only and in following records it might be replaced by a line or a blank space. If the name is hard to read, attempt to verify the spelling with the city directory where possible. Note: If you see a last name that looks crossed out because it was written over that line, enter it as the last name. Sometimes the enumerator drew the lines first for the last name of all the people in the household, and then had to write a new last name over the line to indicate a person had a different last name. These were written over the line, not crossed out.

Additional
  • Notes

    Annie White is listed as the first head of household, but she is 3 years old. Two lines later is Elijah White, 65 year old single "overseer" from Tennessee who is listed as "Father". But, is this a carry-down error, or is the enumerator recording that Annie White is also daughter of Minty Williams or Rosa Williams, from family number 82 in the same address, 198 Bienville Street?

    If you find additional or conflicting information about the person such as a different name spelling or address, include the information as written by the enumerator in the relevant field(s) and enter the alternative information here and its source. If you checked the city directory, include the year, i.e., The address in the 1919 City Directory is _______.

    *Important - the information in the notes field will become public.
