Dear Suzanne, If the census enumerator is properly following directions, then the date the census was taken is not used in the age calculations. The date the enumerator is instructed to use is the census day. In the case of the 1900 census the census day is 1 Jun 1900. Sincerely, Cliff >-----Original Message----- >From: mobarry-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:mobarry- >bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Larry and/or Suzanne > >You look at the date on the top of the census page as to when the >census was taken.
