HOWEVER, the census is FILLED with enumerator math errors, mistaken information provided to the enumerator, mistakes, mistakes... I have found the same person with even up to 15 years of difference in age. Women also liked to take off a few years. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
