We found a number of inconsistencies and obvious mistakes in the recording of the census, as well as some impossible to read names.

If a name looked to us like it could have been read two different ways, we included both possibilities, separated by a slash /.

Some of the photographed pages on the microfilm had ink blots which had soaked through, obliterating many of the given names and some of the surnames. In cases where we could determine what the name was by checking the recap of heads of household at the end of each township listing, we supplied it in parentheses ( ).

In cases where only an initial was given for a given name in the census record, if a full name was given in the recap, we filled in the rest of the name in parentheses as well.

In a few cases, there were names listed in the township recap that were not listed in the body of the census. We have added those at the end of the townships they were listed in.

The date given on the census was March 1st, 1875 and the names of the census takers were as follows:
