The 1920 Census date was 5 January 1920. Which means even if they
did not get to the house until June the baby should not have been
listed. <br>

Les, you'd had to have been there, and I know you are older than I
am, but even you aren't that old, so ...<br>
<br>
Dad was born in January 1920 (official birth cert, unofficial
birth cert, newspaper clipping, mother's personal statement, etc),
but he was NOT enumerated as an infant in the 1920 census -- the
omission would appear to be one of those fairly typical
aberrations in the census record. How could one miss a six month
old infant as being a person? That happened.<br>
<br>
I have another cousin counted twice as an infant on the same day
about 200 miles away -- probably skipped Dad wile trying to make
up for that error forty years later [actually, my guess is over
eager grandparents]. And you ask when sex changes happened?
Every time they missed the mark with their pen -- time to look at
the original record and make your own transcription, Les.<br>
<br>
Merry Christmas from the census takers!<br>
