 No. = Dwelling Number/Family Number

 Previously, this extended index was ordered alphabetically by the transcriber.  The
 census coordinator has re-ordered this transcript by Dwelling/Family Number, which
 brings it back to the original dwelling order.  Members within the dwelling may not be
 in orignal order.  Important data such as, "Years Resident in the State" have not been
 transcribed - S.D.W. 14 Feb. 2007
