Thanks for the information.  I usually go down to the archives every
December so this is something I will definitely check out.

If you go to the last page of the 1870 or 1880 census you may find a
wealth of

of information.  The individual name is relisted with acres, developed
vs undev.

bales of variys vegitable items, etc. ie two pages of info on your mans
land.

	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
