(2) Census pages from internet site ( populationschedu1596unit_files) had no information on the ODD numbered pages for Liberty County, Texas. There are only 40 lines per census page. There are 538 pages on this film. (3) The Counties covered in these films are: Leon, Liberty, Limestone and Live Oak. ************************************************************************** All above information must remain when copied or downloaded. ************************************************************************** NOTE: For more information on Liberty County, Texas, Please visit the TXGenWeb page at http://www.usgenweb.org/tx ========================================================= ALSO visit the TXGenWeb archives at http://www.usgwarchives.net/tx/ ************************************************************************** NOTES for Page 3 (90B) There are some lines on several pages that are dark & signify those swellings are either in Liberty or an area called No 1 (North 1?) and I didn't know how to notate the info in the notes file. NOTE: Using donslist.net census pages, at the bottom is a slider bar to change census pages. I have checked this at least four times. In moving the slider I have found page 182 shows page 3(90B) and page 4(91A); and sliding to the next page 183 it also shows 3(90B) and page 4(91A). I don't why this occurs. I am doing the page #s by the upper left number and calculating also by the stamp on the B pages. The information should be okay. But, if it is not, I will have to rely on the people who translate these pages into a corrected form to find an answer. I found that on every second page in the film, the even pages/sheets, is where the actual films are that I transcribed from. Line 2 Given name Cecilla? age? entered 27. Line 4 Given name hard to read; entered as Inglebat. Age entered as 21, could be 25? Line 10 The rest of row boxes are empty. Entered "Unoccupied" under surname.

Line 27 The rest of row boxes are empty. Entered "Unoccupied" under surname. Given name box would not allow me to enter a dash (-) so all unoccupied family given name boxes will be left blank as LibreOffice will not accept it. I even tried using "'-" in the field but it only puts in strange numbers. Line 28 Given name and occupation hard to read; given entered as Lewis, occupation as Girding Agent Hand? Line 29 Entered as Herron; age entered as 44. At the bottom of the census page per the items listed are hard to read; will make what I think they are. Any question marks mean I can't make out the words.
