** Transcriber's Notes **

A  This is the name of the orphanage as given in the original census and is 
   probably not the actual name of the home.  Also, no address was given but
   it was enumerated side by side with enumeration for "Orphan Home Black" 
   (no address given here, either). Each of these orphanages had different 
   but consecutive numbers entered in the "order of visitation" columns and 
   were therefore transcribed here as separate institututions.

Columns above represent name, relation, color, gender, birth month, birth 
year, age, marital status, number of children, number of living children, 
birth place, father's birth place, mother's birth place, occupation, months 
unemployed, months at school, can read, can write, can speak English, home 
or farm.  

Columns omitted are years married, year of immigration, years in United 
States, naturalization, home owned or rented, home owned free or mortgaged, 
number of farm schedule.  

Transcriber used the abbreviations Ken for Kentucky, Un for Unknown, Ind for 
Indiana, Ger for Germany, Miss for Missouri, and Y for yes.

Address of Orphanage: not given in original census.
This census was taken June 8, 1900 by J L. Wills, Enumerator. 

 2  Surname has a line through it; it is unclear whether the surname or line
    was intended.  The name could be crossed out or the surname may have
    been entered as a correction to the straight line.
27  First name might be Ellie
33  First name looks like Lema, Lerna
36  Unable to read birth month
41  Hard to read; might possibly be Lorne
44-45  Birth month entries for these persons in the original document are 
       straight lines.  It is unclear whether each straight line indicates
       "unknown" or "same as the above".
