<DIV><FONT face=Arial>My wife has a census where the taker was found drunk in a
ditch,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>and finished by a volunteer. Also once in a while
you will find a street</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>name or road indicated. But the information was only
as good as that</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>given. We had one woman who kept
changing her place birth and that</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>of her parents with each later census. Turned out
her father was married</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>4 times, in 4 states, and she was the baby sitter or all
the half sibllings.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>There are so many descendants of her father they are still
out there.</FONT></DIV>

about with census records. The image we see is the<BR>third rendition

taker, [he had a horse], wrote the information onto the forms.<BR>His copy
went to the county. The county copied over the census and sent<BR>that
to the state. The state copied over the census and sent it to
