I'd ask - Where have you lived in the census years since you were born? and particularly during the summers of those years? My answer would be - 1940 Detroit, MI 1950 Detroit, MI 1960 Flint, MI 1970 Town of Rush, Monroe County, NY 1980 Town of Brighton, Monroe County, NY 1990 Town of Webster, Monroe County, NY 2000 Town of Brighton, Monroe County, NY 2010 Who knows? I would ask this question because the censuses gather details of a person's life more conveniently than just about any other kind of record. Part of me wishes that the data included the name of one's religious affiliation, but of course that would be skirting the issue of the separation of church and state. If one belongs to a "faith community" (to be politically correct), more good data might be available. Why can't I have a second question? If I did, I'd ask - Where do you save your letters and photographs?
