| (American Indian) Indian Names | | Getting the Native American Indian names in our project "right" has been a struggle for us because we have often seen the same person's name spelled in several different ways. This was, at first, both frustrating and stressful to those of us who strive for accuracy in the presentation of our research. When we learned that the Miami Indians, who feature prominently in our project, had no written language before their associations with the French and English who kept records by writing them down, we began to understand. It’s all very human. Not every person speaks their words in the same way, and each listener may hear the same words differently. So, it’s not surprising that, phonetically, when names were spoken, they would be written down as each individual listener heard them.3,4,5,6,7,8,9 |

They were both 30 years of age and owned their home, which was on a farm, and valued at $150. Martin had completed his education through the first year of high school, worked as a farmer on his own farm, and had worked 60 hours the week before the census was taken. He was reported to also have other sources of income. Hazel had completed her education through the second year of high school and was not employed outside the home. They reported the family had lived in Omaha, Douglas County, Nebraska, and not on a farm, on 1 April 1935. Three children were enumerated with their parents in 1940. James A. was 12 years old, had completed his education through the 7th grade of elementary school, and had attended school within the census year; Robert Lee was 9 years old, had completed his education through the 4th grade of elementary school, and had also attended school within the census year; and Patricia was 2 years old.
