if anyone would like me to look something up for them. Second I have a
question regarding the wording that I don’t understand. In the
column of the census where it would give occupation or whether children were in
school what does the term “serving” mean? I have two young

listed as a farmer, wife as keeping house, the young children listed as at
school, one daughter listed as works outside the home as a servant and these
two young men as “serving”.</span></font></p>
