The names that appear to be creating the most difficulty in transcribing in this census are those from Austrian (AUT) birthplaces. It turns out that this may mean they have varying ethnic origins - not just Austrian. So, it's possible that the online list of Ukrainian names at this Smoky Lake, Alberta site may be helpful to you.

To figuring out the handwriting:

Carol Lylyk writes: If it is a rural area, see if there is a Land description given for that person. I found several names by going to the National Archives Land Grants site and by putting in the Section, Township and Range. When you see the name there and look at what is written on the census image it is easier to make out what the enumerator was trying to write.
