Add 20 yrs to everyone's 1880 age for the 1900 census. I'm not related to any member of this family. Census records do not record the "specific locality" of a person's birth. Census records only record where a person was born - state or country. 1940 is the last available census at this time. DOB's birthplaces are needed for all family members Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
