Remember that information on a census is to be given as of “the census date.” Sometimes censuses were not taken until days, weeks, or occasionally a month later. Respondents might have been confused when giving information as of a certain date that had happened in the past. As a result, children might be listed who were born “after the census date.” ———————————— Check out GenealogyBank’s Offer for Tip of the Day Fans!
