That's true...even with the 1880s and so forth. How about this one? When looking at let's say the House Family in 1870 and seeing everyone but that one person listed in one household, and knowing the fact that the person was living before 1870, and not seeing that person...only to find that person listed somewhere else and in someone's family. Case in point: I saw a cousin Lonnie House listed in the household of John House, who had a wife and three children at the time. Yet, in cousin Lonnie's family her father and her mother and other siblings are listed and no Lonnie. Then too, a lot of Blacks felt that their privacy was being tampered with. Never knew who was coming after you. Joseph
