In hindsight, with a town the size of Gardiner you could have just
browsed the whole thing to find it.<br>

<div class="plainMail">Thanks, Les! I am reading the
box on the bottom right, but many times it doesn't
address my questions. They sometimes highlight in
red unusual last names. I look them up to make
sure I am reading them and spelling then
correctly, but it is still highlighted. One of the
census takers misspelled a town and it was
highlighted so I changed the spelling to make the
red box go away. One said "Anajean" but stayed red
until I changed it to Anna Jean (which was her
actual name in other records). Should I just be
ignoring the red if I know it is correct?<br>
Thanks for the advice!<br>
