Given the proclivity of extended families to live in the same area at the time, plus the practice of passing on family first names, it is not at all unusual to find two people with the same name, and close birthdates, living in close proximity to one another. They could very well be cousins. That is more likely than someone being enumerated twice, especially given the different marital situations. -----Original Message----- From: Roxanne [mailto:maigheach@yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2005 4:11 AM To: PA-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [PACEN] Enumerated twice? How frequently did it happen that someone was accounted for twice in the census? I think I may have found an uncle who was counted twice in 1900. He is listed as living at home at age 21, but then is also listed as being married, living not too far away with his wife. Yes, I suppose it could be two different people.... but the birthdates match up so closely.... Roxanne Baird __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail for Mobile Take Yahoo! Mail with you!
