Seventies Soulchild: Isn't that how it always happens seraph1959?

seraph1959: too many times ...

Seventies Soulchild: I was looking for Margaret Meade/Mead/Meads, sister of my enslaved ancestor Charity Rounds, and found Christmases who are also married into my Rounds family on other lines. Quick question, has anyone seen the same person in two seperate households in the same census year?

Selma: Yes Dates the census was done was in different months..someone appeared in another household in a later census.

Seventies Soulchild: Are they usually of some sort of relation to the individuals?

Selma: In a later month

Seventies Soulchild: OK

Selma: Can't remember the specifics.. Have you run across that seventies?

Seventies Soulchild: Yes Margaret Meads grandson Richard Christmas was in her home in the 1880 census, then in his parents home up the road in the same year. Which was helpful because that's how I was able to quickly tie the families together. wb di

daviss: hello di, Selma, seraph whoa all these "S'es lol

di: hello daviss

daviss: hello seventies and status

statustray: hehehe... i hadn't noticed that until u just mentioned it.... rofl

alt: Wow!!! got a seat left?

Seventies Soulchild: hi alt

Selma: Afternoon alt.

alt: Hello all, daviss, di, Selma, seraph1959, Seventies Soulchild & ststustray why did it get so quiet?

di: ok...anyone ever used a fire insurance map? did it help ur research?

alt: sanborn maps ? yes.. they plot the neighborhood with lot sizes and shapes and an number the houses by street.

di: i never used it. i came across it browsing the internet. do i need the address from the directory or is there another way to identify where family could have been

statustray: hmmm... interesting indeed.... i wasn't aware of this

alt: Sanbornmaps don't neccessarily identify lots by family names.... ownership and residency's change over time, but the lot size and shape most often do not. di, if in a city, don't census records usually list the street name in the margin of the page and they have the street number as a column entry on the census page.

di: understood. i only have one area in my searching locations that the map is available for. i was looking to maybe match family from census and directory. most of my family has been in rural areas to my knowledge so i have not noticed street names in the margin

alt: am I talking too much?

di: not for me....

daviss: me either because I am learning

statustray: me too!

alt: often in the margin they will have a county road name name and the later years the house number is the RFD number.

di: now i need to go back and look at those images....

alt: hehehehhehe
