Not that this seller wasn't clueless, but it goes a long way to show why old census records are rife with errors in spelling and dates.

With my last name, I get more misses than hits. It's a very rare last name, 19 people in the US have it, all related to me. Some others in Germany that are probably related somehow. Yet I see the name a lot in searches and it ends up being Decker, or Dreher or Dreyer because they find something close

Please check out my books on baseball history. They include the bio of star second baseman Dots Miller. A book featuring 20 Moonlight Graham players who got into just one game. Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history. All five can be found here:
