Hi, Take a look at this article on Census, It could change alot of our estimating ages. I was surfing a few nights ago, and found this article on "Census Day." Thought it was rather interesting, & others might also. > http://www.genealogybulletin.com/HTML/current.html It could answer why someone b. say a month before census actually was taken doesn't show up, or why someone who died a month or so before actual census taken is listed. This should be required reading for all of us.
