1870 Lower Mahanoy, Northumberland, PA
dozens after dozens of names, full familes:
Bddleyond
Bddorf
Dtterey
Dttery
Fgeley
Fngbone
Fnstermacher
Hckerd
Hterick
Klvis
Kpenhaper
......
I am not good at German names - NO, I have not checked the pictures - and YES, I know these names cannot exist.
I think that in India, they have more pride in their work. Someone suggested the transcription are done by prisoners.
Makes more sense.

I just found out it goes on in Upper Mahanoy [less]:
Brghouse
Fgely
Fnstermacher
