Formal peculiarities: 117 persons had no marital status and no sex in the sources, so it was necessary to create a new value in the element sexfam: U = ‘unknown’. Otherwise these persons would not be included in the transformation to statistical data. For the element birthplace there was only information for the servants and here we have only got the values F for foreign and H for persons from the place of inquiry.
