[or-roots] More census whining or when exactly did sex changes start taking place?

[Bil & Chris Strickland]

> Riddle me this one;

Les, you'd had to have been there, and I know you are older than I am, 
but even you aren't that old, so ...

Dad was born in January 1920 (official birth cert, unofficial birth 
cert, newspaper clipping, mother's personal statement, etc), but he was 
NOT enumerated as an infant in the 1920 census -- the omission would 
appear to be one of those fairly typical aberrations in the census 
record.  How could one miss a six month old infant as being a person?  
That happened.

I have another cousin counted twice as an infant on the same day about 
200 miles away -- probably skipped Dad wile trying to make up for that 
error forty years later [actually, my guess is over eager 
grandparents].  And you ask when sex changes happened?  Every time they 
missed the mark with their pen -- time to look at the original record 
and make your own transcription, Les.

Merry Christmas from the census takers!
