<A HREF="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~barlow/censustaker.html">The Census Taker</A> TAG, This may give you a clearer picture of what the census taker was dealing with and why he appears to be wrong most of the time. Though his assignment was official, his "subjects" weren't always helpful in fulfilling his task. By the way, I am delighted to see this much activity on the Warren County TN list. And I'm so proud of all who are being so helpful. Right on, gang! Nancy in MO
