In Ancestry.com‘s “1916 Canada Census of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta,” the age of William H. Sartorius is transcribed as “88” instead of “38.” That’s enough of a difference that using any age or year of birth for him relatively close to the right one won’t find him. Consider removing any age-related information from your search and using other search terms instead.

That’s what is so frustrating about Ancestry’s transcriptionists. Sometimes they totally bungle a name, sometimes a birth place, sometimes an age. You never know what you’re going to find.
