Member Since: May 2003 Posts: 0 Send Message	Linda, The most common problem is due to the name being transcribed incorrectly. try searching on first name, where born and age +/- a few years. Crista

Member Since: May 2003 Posts: 193 Send Message	There are transcription problems with 1901, try alternative spellings or just searching for the first few letters of the name (there is information on the census web site telling you how to use wild card and do advanced searches) which may help.
