    the transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information

 2  The given name is real faint.  But with the opinion of many we have come up with
    Thomas
 3  At the end of the surname there is a tail like maybe an s in the air. I don't
    know if that should mean Guses or not but will put it in the surname list just
    in case it is correct.
10  Again the given name is faint.  With much concern and relooking at the name and 
    the opinion was Jennie,or maybe Jenne
