LDS 1880 Census Error
I discovered an apparently inadvertent mistake on one of the CDs in the 1880 Census, sold by the LDS Church. This will affect only those Sages with a connection to the COLE family. My g-g-gf was Peleg COLE. The 1880 Census CD has him listed as "Riley" Cole. A close check of the actual 1880 census page for Pine Grove, Warren Co., PA (Film 1255200, page 173A, Line 23) revealed that, because of the handwriting, the name was mistakenly deciphered by the LDS as "Riley." Other members of the family on this census page are correct. FYI to Sage researchers.
