    'Village names were not included in the original census. They have been added here on the basis of information obtained from John Rempel and William Harms in Atlas of original Mennonite Village Homesteaders and some Burial Plots of the Mennonite West Reserve, (Altona Mb: 1990). Since the census could not always be completed in one village before the next one was started, some of the families included under a village heading may have lived elsewhere. Therefore the village names should be considered only as a guide to the place of residence. ...'

    The discrepancy in the list of children after Johann can be explained by the fact that the copy of the 1881 census used for the transcribed version that appeared online in the 1990s was microfilmed in the wrong order, with page 14 (listing Jacob, Marie and Anganeta from a different family) coming after page 15 (listing Abram Harder, Margareta and Johann). In 2013, this incorrect page order can be seen in the digitized microfilm available online at Ancestry.com, although the transcription has been corrected to show the correct family members together.
