Did you go back to the original image and check to see if you translated
the handwriting the same as the person doing the transcription??

	First let me say that I have an extracted book of the Linn
County 1860 census if anyone would like me to look something up for
them.  Second I have a question regarding the wording that I don't
understand.  In the column of the census where it would give occupation
or whether children were in school what does the term "serving" mean?  I
have two young men listed that way and I don't know what it means.  The
father is listed as a farmer, wife as keeping house, the young children
listed as at school, one daughter listed as works outside the home as a
servant and these two young men as "serving".

	Any ideas out there?

	Thanks

	Dale
