[or-roots] more census whining

Good for you to find these. As to the "F" and "T" I haven't found it in the
1900, but sure do in the earlier censuses, as the "F" and "T" were much
closer in looks than today.

Last week I had a Trent - Frantie - Frent in three different censuses.
Should have been Trent in all three.

This was not, in all cases, the transcribers problem. As I recall the
"Frantie" was spelled out by the enumerator that way.  Probably couldn't
read his notes when he went to do the master copy.

Check this out;

Surname  GivenName  Age  Sex  Race  Birthplace  State  County  Location

FULMER  GEORGE W  38  M  W  NY  WI  WAUKESHA  OCONOMOWOC  1860

Surname  GivenName  Age  Sex  Race  Birthplace  State  County  Location

FRILLNER  GEORGE  47  M  W  NY  WI  WAUKESHA  OCONOMOWOC  1870

those are the same person and the following is one of his sons who married a
cousin of mine.

TULMER  WASHINGTON W  49  M  W  WI  WI  WAUKESHA  OCONOMOWOC  1900

Doesn't everybody look for F surnames under T? I sure intend to remember to
in the future. Don't know why I didn't think of it, but if he'd been John or
Robert or something I'd of probably never found him.

So it goes.
