age, marital status, number of children born, number of children alive,
birthplace, father's birthplace, mother's birthplace, year emigrated to U.S.,
years in U.S., and occupation.
Columns omitted were Race, as all where white, naturalization, as
information was given only for #134 and #163(see below); number of months
unemployed, as no information was given; number of months in school, as no
information was given; education, as all adults were listed as being able to
read, write and speak English, and no information was given for the children;
and housing, as information was given only for #1 (see below).
Transcriber abbreviated Sister as Sr, Ireland as Ire, Massachusetts as
Mass, Assistant as Asst, Canada as Can, Germany as Germ, Treasurer as Treas,
Maryland as Mary, Minnesota as Minn, Michigan as Mich, Alabama as Ala,
California as Cal, Children's Nurse as C. Nurse, Kindergarten Teacher as
Kinder. Teacher, Trained Nurse as Tr. Nurse, Unknown as Unkn, Virginia as
Virg, Wisconsin as Wis, Illinois as Ill, Indiana as Ind, Scotland as Scot,
Louisiana as Louis, Switzerland as Switz, Engineer-Carpenter as Eng./Carp.,
Daughter as Daugh, as Brother as Broth. Also, the ages of the infants had
been recorded in the original census as "x/12" (i.e., "x months"); for this
transcription, the fraction was omitted and "m" was used as an abbreviation
for "months" (see notes below).
Address of Orphanage: 191 La Salle Ave. (The number, "191", is not actually
written in the space provided but at the head of the column and over
the "1" normally seen there. This occurs on each of the five census sheets
for this orphanage).
This census was enumerated on June 1, 1900 by Mary A Padgett.
1 Cannot read surname; seems to contain "q" - might be "g". Owns a house.
1-14 The names of the Sisters, in the original census, were entered as
"first name, first; last name, last". The order was reversed for
this transcription. "Sister" was spelled out in original census but
abbreviated here as "Sr."
4 Might be Kuehn, Kuchow, or something similar to either.
6 Might be Wittenance, Wittenauce.
12 Might be McGinnis.
14 Cannot make it out.

similar.
20 Might be Shaffrath, Shaffeath, Shaffratte, Shaffratle, or something
similar.
24 Looks like Jiesbek, Jicabek ....
30 Looks like "Jobjew"; might be something similar to Jobpus, Jobpen (?)
... (the "p" appears to be dotted but might be a stray mark).

35 Year of emigration might be wrong.
37 Given name is hard to decipher; might be Genevieve.
38 Might be Henna.
41 Age for this person looks like "7/12" with "6/12" written to the right
of it. Age seems to be "6/12" [i.e., "6 months" (or, "6m"), but might
be "7 months" (or, "7m")].
43 Looks like Maison; might be Marson.
44 Looks like Dermond, Desmond - might be something similar; somewhat hard
to decipher. Age for this person looks like "4/12" but might be "5/12"
[i.e., "4 months" (or "4m"), "5 months" (or "5m"), respectively].
45 Age for this person looks like "4/12" but might be "5/12" [i.e., "4
months" (or "4m"), "5 months" (or "5m"), respectively].
46 Looks like Minar or Winar; might be Minas, Minae, Winas, etc., or
something similar. Age for this person looks like "3/12"; might be
"4/12". Both appear in the entry - "4/12" seems to have been written
initially and, though somewhat smudged, does not seem to be explicitly
crossed out. "3/12" (i.e., "3 months") is written to the right. The
age fraction does not appear in the transcription above but has been
abbreviated as "3m" (i.e., "3 months").
40 Might be McEtligott, McEthigott, McElligoth, or something similar.

months" (or "3m"), "2 months" (or "2m"), respectively]. In the original
census, "2/12" seems to have been entered initially with "3/12" to the
right - neither are crossed out.

advised for each:

say for certain; first part of surname is blacked out with tape.

but can't say for certain.
204 Surname seems to end with "..aley" - might be Daley or
something similar, but can't say for certain.

Whittaker (though not exactly). The first letter is mainly
covered; it does seem to be "W" but it may be some other
letter.

the surname looks like: "Edw??d?"

middle looks like "b" but may actually be "o" or "a" with the
tail of the "y" from the line above touching the letter ("o" or
"a") at the left. The last three letters of the surname look
like "..len", but might possibly be "..ley"; there might also
be an additional letter at the very end. The first letter
seems to be "T" but can't say for certain. "Best reads" would
include: "Taolen", "Tiolen", "Taolens"/"Taoleur" ...

(i.e., d, k, l, t, etc.) - can't say for certain.

what is 'visible'), surname looks like "Fieidice" or "Gieidice"

"Freidice"; there does seem to be two dots (as for two "i"
letters) in the first part of this surname - either or both
could be stray marks. With "G" as first letter (doesn't seem
as likely that this is a G, but it might be) - might be
"Gierdice", perhaps "Guidice", "Gustice" .... Given name ends
with "..rmella" - might be Carmella but can't say for certain.

first letter might be "S" but can't say for certain: looks like
Sorita, Serita ....
