‘MA’ on census in color section

bean 

Thank you for posting on History Hub!

“MA” is not one of the abbreviations used by the census enumerators in that column. It could be an error, or the census taker could have used the wrong column to note something else. It’s also possible that it is actually “Mu” and just looks like “MA.” If you can let us know the exact page(s) where you’re seeing this, we can give you a better answer. You can either respond here or contact us directly at archives1reference@nara.gov.

We hope this assists you with your research!

Sincerely,

It looks more ike an M with a line through part of it, which could be perceived as MA or NA. I can’t seem to add the image of it so will my my profile picture of it.
