    I am not advocating for this newsletter necessarily (although I do find 
it interesting), but it came today just in the midst of the "Darned Census" 
discussion.
    Merry Christmas to everyone - and happy census hunting.

We depend upon records to reveal the “truth” about our pasts.
Yet sometimes records have anomalies.
Some are amusing or humorous.
Some are interesting or weird.
Some are peculiar or suspicious.
Some are infuriating, even downright laughable.
Yes, “Records Say the Darnedest Things.”
