Just remember that in pre-1850 United States census records the oldest person might not necessarily be the head of the household. If a grandparent or parent is living with someone, they might be the oldest person enumerated while the person named as the head of the household is actually someone younger. I think that’s the case with a family in Ohio that I’m working on for an issue of Casefile Clues. ———————————— Check out GenealogyBank’s Offer for Tip of the Day Fans!
