Thanks to the census taker at least in one district. Once you get above the confusion, and/or someone points it out to you as in my case, you realize that all the households taken by that census taker has the names of all living children even if they live elsewhere. In my family, the married daughter is counted twice on the same page. Actually a plus for us. Regards, Bobbie
