Ellen, While the previous comments have merit, I think you need to look more into Dora Dufran, the "head of household." In the 1920 census, she and her 10-year old son are in the same house, and she is listed as a nurse for a private family [Dorothy Dufran, 224 2nd Street, e.d. 156, sheet 5A, Ancestry's image #9 of 39]. In the 1930 census, she is still listed in the same house, and her occupation is listed as practical nurse. It is possible that she was caring for the "boarders" in the 1910 census. There were 2 men living at that residence with all of the other women. Could it have been a home for those suffering from tuberculosis? Many other censuses list patients as "inmates." Perhaps "resort" was a nice term for sanitarium. The only reason I can think of to explain the crossing out of the occupations and type of work is that an "inmate" at a "resort" really wasn't an occupation and should have been entered in the "relationship" column rather than "boarder." Newspaper records may shed more light on the situation.

Anyone know a source for Mississippi county "beat" maps for the census years? I have tried doing a Google search but can't find anything. I am trying to compare the 1870 census (Jackson, Co) to the 1880 census. 1870 census uses township/range (I have maps for that) and 1880 uses beats. I can't tell if my people of interest lived in the same area of the county. Michele

Thank you all for your suggestions and insight. That's what I needed. I just wasn't sure why the census taker would have crossed out the columns for occupation and industry for that whole household. Barbara gave me an answer that had not even crossed my mind. :) Sometimes that's just what you need. Since I was inquiring for a friend, that creates an interesting situation!

You should add power strip and extension cords. I had to compromise due to budget but I have an Acer x1261 3D Ready projector that I can hold in one hand but it is not LED.

Can someone help me in interpreting something on a census page? I'm looking at an entry for a Daisy Miller in the 1910 U.S. Census for Rapid City, Pennington County, South Dakota. She is a 25 year old married woman who is a boarder in a household that appears to be a boarding house. Here's the link for the page on Ancestry.com. http://search.ancestry.com/Browse/view.aspx?dbid=7884&path=South+Dakota.Pennington.Rapid+Ward+4.0085.2&sid=&gskw=Daisy+Miller If you look at the columns for occupation and industry, it looks like it says "inmate" in a "resort" but all of the occupation/industry entries for the people in the household have been Xed out. I am not sure but it looks more like she and most of the others in the household are either boarders in a boarding house or people who are staying at a resort. Notice that there is an owner, a cook, and a handy man. The owner's occupation is listed as proprietor in a resort, although that is Xed out too. The link I'm including has the instructions that were given to the census taker. Could he have made a mistake when he entered the occupation/industry fields and then Xed out those entries that were in error? If you look at the directions, an institution, even one that only covers some of the names on a page, should have been written in at the top of the page. Also, in an institution, the families would be listed all as one. At this address you can see that there is a number in front of each family group which, according to the directions, means it is a boarding house with multiple families living in it but I suspect it could also be some sort of "resort." http://usa.ipums.org/usa/voliii/inst1910.shtml Notice that 408 Sixth Street on the page before is headed by Nellie Miller, from New York. Doubtful that she is related but who knows. More importantly, the census taker did the same thing with that household; he Xed out the occupation and industry columns. Thanks for any ideas or suggestions, Ellen Ward

Learn something new everyday! I have Quicken Home and Business in addition to Quickbooks. I had no idea QH&B did invoices also. I have had QB running for so long I guess I never looked! I might try that in 2013! I do love Quicken for my personal finances. I don't know how anyone manages their money without it. Downloading activity from the bank is my favorite feature. There is a comparison between the two at the following URL and probably elsewhere: http://www.goflagship.com/articles/ckgen1.htm With QH&B able to do invoices and statements it looks like you can avoid purchasing Quickbooks. It appears that QB would only be useful if you also needed to track payroll.
Quicken Home and Busienss allows you to set up a client, a project, a vendor and other business contacts. It also allows you to prepare an invoice (which is customizable), an estimate and a statement. I use the invoicing feature. It does nearly everything that Quickbooks does but with a more user friendly interface. Also since I file taxes as a sole proprietorship, I keep my personal and business records in the same database, making tax prep easier. Quicken H&B keeps the data separate. It does not do payroll so if you need to do a payroll, you need Quickbooks. Eileen _______________________________ Eileen A Souza, P.L.C.G.S.
