I guess it just looked like there were so many children, because they are listed all together.

I thought it was interesting too that grown adults were listed as “Boy”.

I really hope that someone is able to find their family on here!

I think, at first glance, it does look like a lot of children, but when I looked at it more closely, I realized that, for the most part the children were just listed separately from the adults, but when I looked at it more critically, I saw that there were eight adults (20 and up) and and ten children, which makes sense, so I think it’s probably pretty normal.

Also, interesting that he calls people in their 20′s and 30′s, “Boy”. (I know they called our men that in person, but I don’t often see them referred to that way in the inventories.)

Thanks for posting this. Hopefully, just the right person will see it!

Renate
