Reading notes

Things to be careful about

  • Manual transcription created from the image-backed census page because local OCR tools were unavailable.
  • The wife is recorded as "Leta" on this census page; this source is linked to Lola Louise Seem based on the household context and Shirley's authoritative birth certificate.
  • Emma's age appears to be 3 with an added fractional-month notation that is not fully legible in this copy.
  • Shirley's age is written as 4/12, which is consistent with her birth certificate date of 4 January 1930.
  • House and family numbers were not normalized because the left-margin numerals are difficult to read in this image.

  • Generated by scripts/ingest_record.py from Transcript-10.pdf and then manually normalized from the census image.
  • Transcript-11.pdf confirmed as an identical duplicate of Transcript-10.pdf (same FamilySearch image, same citation); not stored separately.
  • Re-ingested from Transcript-10.pdf and Transcript-11.pdf on 22 April 2026; township corrected from "Perrys Township" to "Hunter Township" per the census header image; enumerator surname corrected to "Weavers".
  • Entered as an Armstrong household source only; surrounding households on the same page were not normalized.
  • Treat this census as authoritative for household composition and residence on 18 April 1930, but not as more specific than Shirley's birth certificate for exact birth details or Lola's maiden name.
