"Buyer" appears to be this enumerator's version of "Bayern," the German name of Bavaria — I guess anyone who can spell son, s-o-n-e, wouldn't find it odd to spell Bayern, B-u-y-e-r. The interesting part is "For.," which almost certainly stands for "Forchheim," a major city in Bavaria (20 mi north of Nürnberg/Nuremberg). Elizabeth has shaved a few years off her age.

6. 1890 Census: the 1890 census population schedules were destroyed.

7. 1900 Census Index/Microfilm (online at Genealogy.com): not found, at least not as anything remotely close to "Burkhardt." I searched STRAUB, STRAUP, STROUB, and STROUP in PA. There is no Elizabeth in Erie County.

9. Archives of the PAERIE-L Mailing List (online at RootsWeb.com/Ancestry). A message there says Paulina STOCK married Ferdinand STRAUB.
