Yoman Mispelling as Goman for PA 1870

Classification: Census
Surnames: Goman/Yoman
I am just helping anyone out searching for the last name with Yoman or Goman.
In the PA 1870 census images, the transcriber has listed for Newlin Township, Chester County, PA the names of Benjm Emaline, William, Sarah and John as "Goman"....however this is incorrect as this last name is "Yoman" (now spelled "Yeoman".
This is something soundex will not pick up.
So, for all of those searching for the real Goman last name in PA during this time will perceive the wrong info from this image. The webmaster has been notified.
