For example, one of them persisted in using "Berta" for Bertha. I would think that is the way most German speaking residents pronounced the word. And there were many other misspellings, but I used the way it was in the Census. I also had some trouble reading the enumerators handwriting in a few cases, but entered the names the way I thought they read. For comments or questions, e-mail me, Shelley Green . Township of Bergen ================ This census was transcribed by me, Shelley Green. This was proofread by Joe Luebke, TLW1257@aol.com. I tried to read the census taker's handwriting the best I could and rules dictate that I must reproduce the names as they were written, not as I might know them to be. Joe was a great help with some of the names, but I don't guarantee any of the name. IF you KNOW some of the names are wrong, please let me know. It is my opinion that the enumerator phonetically spelled some of the names - and as most of the inhabitants could not read or write, the spellings stayed.
