Transcriber's Notes:

An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder not
the transcriber or is used to call your attention to additional information
in the notes below.

The ? marks indicate letters or words that cannot be read due to the
quality of the original document.

Brackets were used to indicate shared baggage within a family.

The writer of this list used several different spellings for Cincinnati
and many abbreviations for first names.  It is difficult to
distinguish between the writer's u and a.
