This type of problem was discussed on another email group. It appears that some people may have given the names of *all* their children rather than listing just the children who were living in the household. Some census takers may not have asked children clearly or the person giving the information misunderstood the question. So, it is not terribly uncommon that grown children living elsewhere were listed as living in the household of their parents. ~Suz In a message dated 7/5/2001 9:09:00 PM Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: << That is what I have too. My dad gave me that info from stuff his cousin researched to get into the DAR, but if that is our ancestor, and then list of siblings I got with her are correct, then how could she and all those same siblings be listed in 1850 in her father's household. Noone has a married name, no grandchildren listed, and Anthony Miller and Suzanne Eckman were supposed to have children by then. Do you see my problem? Either that info is correct and then people on the census are not mine even though every name matches that given to me for Suzanne, or the info that she used to get into the DAR is not correct. >>
