For this Vol. I., 470 questionnaires were ^ sent out <& 164 returned. After waiting at least 6 months for a ,rr reply, 125 reminder postcards were sent out, to which 20 answers Q were, received. With the increased postal rates, it will not be IP possible to send out reminders. "T" Every effort has been made to eliminate errors, but In spite of this, errors are bound to occur and corrections will CG be appreciated, as well as information about families that either do not appear or about whom the records are meager, n especially the address of some member of that family. O 1 wisli to thank those who have so willingly given their help to make this as complete as it is. i p-? 1. TOWNER COUNTY, N. D.
