Knobview Census
(zipped file)
Right click to download and save a
zipped file of the original census. Be aware that some first and last names were reversed and misspelled,
and along with very poor handwriting, resulted in
unfamiliar family names, missing families and unreadable names. Due
to the communication problem between an English speaking census taker and
families who spoke only Italian at that time, ages and dates on this census
should not be trusted. Click below for an accurate and readable list of
names.
