Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: http://freereg!.rootsweb!.com/howto/realna!.!.!. I could not find any listing for a "Jus", but found these: Jas!. = James Jas = James (with the "s" as a superscript above the "a") Jos!. = Joseph Josh = Josiah (with the "h" as superscript above the "s") http://en!.wiktionary!.org/wiki/Appendix:A!.!.!. Then, there is "Jud!." for Judith ( I did not see Justin listed anywhere among that time frame!. I think Justin is of more modern usage than 1910, so I'd bet money on either the Jas or Jos listings!.) Www@QuestionHome@Com Justin!? The way to figure it out is to find this person in the next or previous census and see what the name is!.Www@QuestionHome@Com It could be for Justin!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
