Ever wonder why the census information just doesn't add up? http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~walanray/censday.htm ".... all the questions refer to the day when the enumeration is to commence; the first Monday in August next. Your assistants will thereby understand that they are to insert in their returns all the persons belonging to the family on the first Monday in August, even those who may be deceased at the time when they take the account; and, on the other hand, that they will not include in it, infants born after that day." I found this today and wanted to share it with all who have never heard of the "census day." Gayle Turner
