  2. Coonrad Mast (I believen Coonrad is an OLD spelling of Conrad, rather than the mispelling it appears to be.)

  5. As I mentioned above, I have often seen Coonrad for Conrad (lots of Conrads on my line). I believe it is an old spelling (or an other language spelling.

  6. Surely if the sixth letter of the given name is "a" then the name should be "Caanrad" !!
    While you know the actual name was Conrad we have to transcribe what we see. Looking at the other "a"s and "o"s on the image shown and on the complete census page -- in my humble opinion it pretty clearly says "Coonrod" - Grin.
    Al.
