This happened when the enumerator recorded a family toward the end of a page and the entire family could not be recorded on that page. The enumerator finished the family at the top of the next page, prior to a family in another township. Many names and/or middle initials may not be transcribed spelled the way you think they should be due to the fact that the enumerator did not make the letters clearly or may have spelled them the way they thought they should be. I copied them the way the enumerator wrote them. It is sometimes impossible to distingush between L and S as well as other letters which look alike such as J and I etc. I have tried to determine what each letter is and I have copied each record exactly as it appears on the film to the best of my ability. If you have have a problem with a middle initial or the spelling of a name I suggest that you check with the film and decide for yourself which is right. I made copies of the actual census film at the Public Library in Louisville, Ky. Then as I transcribed these pages I checked with my own film on my reader in my home when I came across something in question. This has been proofread and I hope it will be helpful.
