One more thing: people lie. My Uncle was living with his parents. in 1900 in Illinois. the census was taken in May. Granny ran off with the kid in tow to California in June. In July, they were both counted again. In California. Census taker in Illinois spelled the last name EvertEs. In California, Census taker spelled it Everts. The United States census is NEVER reliable. Don't rely on it to prove a point. Dewey
