I looked in some censuses before I realized that the County was what was
being listed. It seemed like all the allied of my Hanfords moved at once
to Tioga County from Delaware Co. When I saw a whole page saying nothing
but Delaware, I marked down Delaware as the location they were born... and
promptly proceeded to bang my head until a fellow Hanford researcher set me
straight.

| No 1885 NYS census. They tell you the county of birth for NYS births,
and
| the state for those born out of state. Some list marriages and deaths
which

Except
| some hardly legible on microfilm.
