    1. Census Mistake

    3. I just wanted to warn everyone about a mixtake I found on a Marion Co., AL Census record . I knew my Thomas Bird/Byrd lived in Marion Co. but he was not listed on this particular census. By chance I scrolled on into the next county which was Marshall and there on the first line was Thomas Bird, when he should have been listed in Marion Co. He never lived in Marshall Co. At one time, I found him listed in the Monroe Co., MS Census but that was when they thought that part of Monroe Co. was actually Marion Co., AL. It's my understanding that when they resurveyed, they found out it was indeed MS rather than part of AL. When I found the old Byrd Plantation, the "Welcome To Mississippi" sign was in their front yard.
