Dear Mr. HuffmanIn reviewing the 1880 census, there is a John H. Fretteg. There is a transcriber's note that the name should be Fretueg and indicates "see transcribers note cbc p. 316". Is it possible to find out what that note says if it is more than the name correction? Sincerely, Stephen Friday

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Huffman,
Thank you so much for your most recent census lookup. This is really helping me narrow down the information I'm looking for. My grandfather (Henry Friday) was born in Ripley in 1903 and his father (John) was from that area too. I saw three more census entries that may answer my questions and hope it would not be too much to ask if you would look up the following:
Henry Friday R71
Solomon Friday R108
Jacob Friday R105
The reason I'm interested in Solomon is we have an old stock certificate that was made out to Solomon Friday in 1927. Nobody knows how we came to own it. I can't tell you how much I appreciate this work that you do!
Sincerely,
Stephen Friday

Dear Steve,
The numbers you gave for the lookup turned out to be references to the 1870 census, rather than the 1860, which your heading carried. but, to be safe, I have listed the findings of both. They are in Ripley in both censuses.
Has my husband mentioned to you (this you probably already know), that the name Friday comes from Freutuag, which is German for the English word Friday? This certainly clarified for us the connections between these families in the county, and why the name was changed.
If we can be of any further help to you in getting your Prairie Pioneer Certificate, please let us know.
Laurie Huffman
