Perhaps the college authorities just wrote down the names of all who were living in each dorm for the census taker. Guess you won't know unless you're around in 2110 to check it out yourself:-)Carolannkghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15515535168055444836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231923768326673487.post-77803453030705234202011-04-20T11:45:08.994-07:002011-04-20T11:45:08.994-07:00I have chosen your blog for the “One Lovely Blog” ...I have chosen your blog for the “One Lovely Blog” award.

I live in a college dorm and we never got any forms, but we were told that a census taker would come by to write our names down. Well, no one ever came! So I guess my great-great grandchildren will be searching for me & wondering why I am not there!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16858480399075402560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231923768326673487.post-60918771217564618972011-04-16T08:23:12.791-07:002011-04-16T08:23:12.791-07:00That is a problem, especially if they live in the ...That is a problem, especially if they live in the same areas as cousins etc., with same name - but witnesses at weddings can help sort them all out.

I have often times had similar problems, but my most frequent recurring problem is coming across names that are too similar and not being able to confident enough to make the connection.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16424815186426016691noreply@blogger.com
