Thank You, Pretty Handwriting Census Lady

After the horrible batches we've had for a while, I had to stop and appreciate this one. Wow. I should write the census-taker's great grandson a letter about how grateful I am for her legible handwriting.

Have you tried the death certificates?

Maybe I'm morbid, but those are a treat. I'm so happy to live in a time where we have modern medicine. The "cause of death" section is FASCINATING.

Child Labor?

"I've always heard stories about the way the South treated black people, but this is ridiculous. A servant? Really? 10 years old? Apparently there were no Child Labor Laws in 1920." Amy Cima

and love - TRUE LOVE...

What does True Love love? Brownies.

700 names

That's all O'Fallon 1st has us by. Good for them. That's neat.

hmmm

It's a mystery to me why sisters Dilda and Birth Grun never got married.

SCANDAL!

Nobody knows the troubles I've seen

Anyone else having troubles with the upgraded system? On my husband's computer it took about 15 minutes to open the program. Then, there was no available projects. So we gave up. I finished the one I was working on on my computer and tried to download another and it froze.

Anyone else?
