Facts (with source information): Narrative Report

What's so great about these records?
Very little is known about this man, but the census records are interesting. The 1870 census is a bit of a mess. It says his wife was born in Missouri, his daughter in Hanover. It also says his daughter was named Madeline. We know her name was Helena, and that her father called her Lena. Perhaps their English was poor in 1870 and the census taker did not understand them.
