This record has been much scribbled over, both by the enumerator and by the vandals at NARA, so my extraction may not be entirely accurate. Soren's given name is almost completely obliterated by tally numbers although, knowing what it should be, you can just make out that that's what it is. Christina's "years married" appears to have been changed from 16 to 20, but it should be "4" for both of them. Andrew's age and birth year have been written over as have Carrie's and as has Rasmuss's birthyear and Fritz's age. The SSDI shows Fritz born in 1886 (see below); he certainly can't have been born in 1887 if he is Carrie's sibling. The enumerator seemed "thrown" by how to deal with two people who have been married before, with children from their previous marriages.
