I just discovered you website today although I have been researching Geneology for over 18 years. The last time I searched the 1911 Census was likely a year ago, and I think indexing was minimal. Today I was reviewing a number of relatives that I had seen in the 1911 census and your website came up. I was looking at Winnipeg and searching "Ben Sheps". I found them on page 36, ED 81. Scanning down the page I noted was a "Rocknil" given name. with the transcribed surname "Calq". I realized the correct name is "Rockmil Calof". Then I brought up the original page and, yes, very easy to see how "of" could be transcribed as a "q". I believe there was two Calof families, two boys called Rockmil Calof, cousins. One of the daughters married a nephew of Ben Sheps. |
