No, what I am when I don't find a direct in the census is annoyed, not curious. I have way too many people who were borned, married, and buried within a 10 mile radius who managed to be not-on the census. The cost/benefit ratio for figuring out where they were is unfavorable. (Especially since it'll probably turn out they were simply away visiting an already enumerated family on the day the enumerator showed up.) Cheryl singhals@erols.com
