Rankin County, Mississippi 1850

The enumerator, Thomas L. White, began his work on August 14, 1850
and completed taking the Rankin County census on November 29, 1850.

Comments from the transcriber, Larry Cooley.

    Ages: 0s and 1s sometimes difficult to distinguish between , i.e. 20, 21 
          5s and 3s were not always written plainly

   Lettering: e's and i's were EXTREMELY similar
              S's and L' were difficult unless it was a 'normal' name

   Numbering: An occasional Dwelling/Family number was skipped


Since there were problems dealing with the e's / i's and 
some of the l's / t's, the transcription does not always 
agree with the SK index.

A very few first names for a MALE resident would be indicated
as Jo.  This could represent for any number of names.  Sometimes an
abbreviation was used when the first and last names together
were lengthy.


Thanks,

Larry Cooley
