1870 Rome Township Census Tri-Counties Genealogy & History Sites Home Page About This Site & How to Use It Warning & Disclaimer Rome Borough & Township Page No Commercial Use Say Hello to  Joyce  Enumerated June 1 thru 14, 1870 by G. W. Nichols, Asst. Marshall  Transcribed for Tri Counties by Carlton Wolfe 2004 Pages formatted by  Joyce M. Tice The photo was sent in by Don Stanton. The place and people are unidentified, but it is most likely in Bradford County. I am including it as representative of the homes our local people lived in before the modern era. Their lives were not about accumulating  luxury, but just getting along as well as they could in hard circumstances.

Census records are very often difficult to read because of handwriting, microfilm quality, and spelling issues. Our early census takers were not as well educated as we'd like them to have been, and even the people bearing the names often could not spell them with the same consistency we are accustomed to in this era. The census taker wrote what he believed he heard as well as he could. These have been transcribed for you to the very best or our abilities given the difficulties mentioned. Please be tolerant of what you would consider "mistakes." If you can recognize the names you are looking for, then it is a success. If not, then you may want to find a place where you can view the originals so that you can judge for yourselves. Excessive attention to outmoded spelling issues is the sign of a beginner in family research. Those of you who have been at this a while are well aware of the "spelling errors" in our early records and have learned to take them in your stride. If you want to tell us what is right and what is wrong with the transcription, your notes will be added to the Comment Page
