Is that a Q or a 2?

You finally find your ancestor and you pull up the original document online but now ... you can't read it!  Qs look like 2s and is that an H or an A?  It's impossible to find your ancestor when the interpreter spells the name wrong.  I found some Reese's listed in census as Ruse. This diagram may help you but don't forget to search for different variations of the name ... like Reese, Rees, Rhys, Russ, Reed, Rese, Rice, etc.  I hope you are endowed with extreme patience:
