Research Notes (Conflicts/Spelling/Followup)
CONFLICTS
Given Name: This database uses Raoul. The 1900 US Census uses the name Raul. [census-us-1910-ps-la-orleans-118-18a]
Given Name: This database uses Raoul. The 1910 US Census uses the name Louis. However, I suspect this is not a conflict, but instead, one of these is a middle name. [census-us-1910-ps-la-orleans-118-18a]
SPELLING
Surname: This database uses Guillemet. The 1910 US Census uses the spelling Giullment. [census-us-1910-ps-la-orleans-118-18a]
FOLLOWUP
The 1910 US Census has errors that required "arrows" to indicate the occupation and industry/buisness field belong to other people. For this household, there seem to be two listed occupations. One is working in a blacksmith shop, the other is a laborer in oil mills. As listed, these are the occupations of daughters Etna and Lucy, respectively. More likely candidates are Louis Sr, Raul/Louis Jr, or René. The enumerorator may have tried to correct one error by an arrow pointing the blacksmith shop entries to Louis Jr.'s line. [census-us-1910-ps-la-orleans-118-18a]
A WWI draft registration card for Louis Ralph Guillemet (b. 4 Jan 1888 in New Orleans, LA) shows him married (but no wife's name) with two children, and working for a blacksmith and auto repair business in New Orleans. A WWII draft registration card for Raoul Louis Guillemet (b. 4 Jan 1888 in Lake Charles, LA) shows him married (but no wife's name) and working at Pendelton Shipyard in New Orleans.
Raoul Guillemet may have died 20 Sep 1983, age 94, and been buried at St. Roch Cemetery 1. If so, his vault is located in Sq. C, Facing 3, Tier: HOLYTRIN W, Crypt 1, Grave 17. The vault has no carving, but the record can be found at the site New Orleans Catholic Cemeteries 〈https://nolacatholiccemeteries.org/st-roch-cemetery-1〉.
Race Discrepencies
The 1900 US Census identifies Louis and Etna Guillemet, and their children Etna, Raul, Lucille, René, Robert, and Monie[Maurice] as being "white." The 1910 US Census identifies all of them, as well as younger children Rolland, Irma, and Richard as "mulatto." Ignoring the misspelling of their names in the 1910 US Census, the individuals common to the 1900 and 1910 US Census have the same given name (the family surname in 1910 is not exact, but is a close match, likely a spelling error by the enumerator), the same birth dates (within the census defined ranges), and the same birth locations.

A New Orleans birth record (data only, no certificate image) identifies Raoul as "Colored (Black)."
