It was late and I was trying to search for a person I knew I had found in an 1860 census–William Brice. After several attempts, there he was listed as Wm. Brice. Don’t forget that some individuals may be enumerated under abbreviated names. Wildcard searches do not always catch these alternate names. Will* certainly would not catch Wm.
