Bill, do they have a listing of who is in the cemetery? When I was first married (44 yrs ago) we were riding past there and my husband's grandmother said someone in the family was buried there. Of course I followed right up on this information 43 years later and 10 years after her death. Grandmother was a very old lady at that time and knew all the facts about the family that since have checked out. Where is the museum? What time Wed do they open?

I know that if somebody tries to look me up in the 2000 census someday, they won't find me. I am in the military and was away from home on assignment, so the person who was my wife at the time didn't put me since I wasn't physically in our house. However, we were told by the military where I was stationed to make sure that we got counted where we really lived, not where we currently were. Her refusal to cooperate made it so I would not be counted. If I am not mistaken, in certain years, they were supposed to count people who lived there as of 1 January or some other such date, despite the fact that the census was taken later. I could be wrong though. If this was the case, however, it could explain why people who had died could be counted. If the people who were actually answering the questions couldn't keep track of the date...

One enumerator instruction for the 1910 census was that any child born between April 15 and the day of enumeration was not to be included but individuals alive on April 15 but deceased when the enumerator arrived were to be counted. This same instruction continued through 1930. It's not shown for the 1900 census on Ancestry. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

During one census, my oldest son as living with us. Within a month, he took a job in another county and moved. Later when we were talking on the phone, he said his landlord told him the census taker had been there that day and told my son how he had put his name down. So in that census he was listed as Nicholas in our household and Nick in the other county. It takes quite awhile to get the information gathered so it could be possible the wife was living when the census was taken and died before it was published.

Listers....Thanks very much for your input regarding question of listing recently deceased folks on a census. Your replies certainly makes sense. Charlie Murphy near Seattle.

I have done a lot of work with different censuses and agree with Walkers comments. Although many of these records are very good and very accurate, there are many aberrations and errors. It is clear in many of the records I have seen, that the person in the household who spoke to the census enumerator, really didn't know much about the people in the household. I can only imagine that it was sometimes a child or maybe a visiting friend, and that the enumerator was in too big of a hurry to worry about or care that the information was less than complete and less than accurate. Without question it is possible that a recently deceased person could have been listed in a census record.

Fellow Listers....A family tree member just raised the following question re 1900 census (was for Carol Co, ARK, but would apply anywhere I'd think): The particular household listed family members who supposedly were living there as of 1 June 1900; we have reliable info that the wife listed there had actually died 24 April that year during child birth. So, what gives? Anyone know of a Census procedure that would actually list people who had recently died? Appreciate any thoughts about this curious item. Puzzled in Olympia. Charlie Murphy

No, but I can imagine a scenario where the census taker asked the wife's name and the informant didn't say she was deceased, and the census taker didn't specifically ask. Or the census taker really didn't contact anyone in the household but secured information from a neighbor who did't think or bother to say the wife had died. Probably sloppy questioning on the part of the census taker. I ran into the same thing in the 1830 Foyd Co., IN census. A person who was widowed in 1825 remarried several months before the 1830 census was taken, and there she is, listed under her former name, in the house where she had lived beofre her remarriage.

What is the easiest and quickest way to get a copy (non certified) of a death in Louisville Ky. 1944? Thanks for help in the past. Lori
