    Column 3
    Names are listed in the following order: Last, First, Middle. If several members of a family have the same last name, the last name will be listed in the first record only and in following records it might be replaced by a line or a blank space. If the name is hard to read, attempt to verify the spelling with the city directory where possible. Note: If you see a last name that looks crossed out because it was written over that line, enter it as the last name. Sometimes the enumerator drew the lines first for the last name of all the people in the household, and then had to write a new last name over the line to indicate a person had a different last name. These were written over the line, not crossed out.
