Whenever you are confused about the answer to a question in a census enumeration, read the instructions. Being aware of the instructions will not necessarily remove all confusion, but it usually helps. The heading on the census may not provide all the information necessary to understand the answer. The instructions can help with that.

For US Census records, instructions to all federal census enumerations can be found on the census.gov website.
