This census shows has many mistakes. It appears that a neighbor may have given the information due to the fact that the naturalization information is noted as unavailable; Jacob is listed as Jake (possibly a nickname); the ages are all incorrect (Jacob would have been 59, Sophie, 53, and Fred 16 not 48, 26 and 21 respectively); it shows that they were from "Alsough" which most likely should be Alsace; and, shows Fred having been born in New York. Despite the numerous errors, it is clear that this is the correct census record. The family has the correct individuals. "Jake" is listed as a baker and Fred as an electrician which are both correct. Jacob and Sophie are both from Alsace and Fred was born in the United States. Additionally, the address is the same on Fred's marriage certificate.
