I have 8 Allen Sheldons and one Allen Shelden in NY1850, and that is just one state. Remember that it is not how the family spelled the name, but how the census taker heard the name and thought that he knew how to spell it! And then there is the census indexer who had to interpret the census taker's writing! Bruce H. Robertson Notify Administrator about this message?
