[or-roots] entry oddities 1940 census

[W David Samuelsen]

The blank lines are left blank. They are NOT included in index.

The dashes are what they are. Dittos from previous lines.

Exception - 4 years old and below, blank, regardless of what the 
enumerators did. But they do leave tangalizing clues all over.

If place names are mis-spelled, use feedback to report them. They have 
been very adamant about keep the place names spelled correct, even 
correct county and state.

As for that indexed who ignore captionzed letter, shame! Instruction is 
very clear, follow that exact spelling, if it is clear.

You can use feedback to report any such mistakes. You are the researcher.
