Shirley; The persons that were resident in the household 'as of the census date' were enumerated. The 'Census Date' is established in advance of the census year and varied from one census year to the next on some occasions. I can't recall what the date was on each census but I know that I have an Info File with at least part of them noted. I believe the 1800, 1810 & 1820 all had the same 'as of date' but don't hold me to that. Jerry Sanford P.S. Shirley, do you have a new address now that replaces the MSN address? I tried sending you some Info about 2 or 3 weeks ago because of that. I know that you told me earlier that you were not happy with MSN. I sure know that feeling...but I am happy with my new DSL service on Epix Net. -----Original Message----- From: Shirley Bennett <shirley_8071@msn.com> To: SCPICKEN-L@rootsweb.com <SCPICKEN-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 3:04 AM Subject: [SCPICKENS] Help on Census |Can some one help me please?
