We are hearing reminders about saving a copy of our census form--a good idea, but as genealogists, the information our families want to know is already going to be available, but the real thing we need to be concerned about is giving as much information as possible. That means women include your maiden name as part of your name. Mary Smith Schultz If they ask for birth or marriage year, include month as well. Feb 1945 If they ask for birth place don't say MO, say Osceola, St. Clair Co, MO. If you have twins, indicate it near their name. Mary (twin) Susie (twin) Under occupation write the normal one, and also include genealogist teacher/genealogist Look it over, you will get the idea. Give them "more not less"
