Do you think WEATHER (like the stuff they had in that area this past year) might account for the lateness of the census taking? I think the whole post will prove very interesting. Every time I see something that I think will prove useful in my research I copy (on paper) and save. Of course I can't always find it when I need it. It was just luck that I am busy making copies of my research to send to a relative (in exchange for a photo I've been trying to get my hands on for several years) and I saw that piece again. Now the copier has stopped printing and the cartridge of ink needs replacing.....right in the middle of all these piles of paper! Good luck with your research. LoisZ
