Message:Unfortunately, the WPA made many errors when they did their work in the late 1930s and early 1940s. As transcribers it is our job to transcribe what was written, just as is done with census record transcriptions. We can't change what was written. This is one of the reasons we have the Post-em note feature so that people like you can let others know of errors such as this.
