So glad that you found the video useful. We look at forms sometimes but we forget to zoom in on those little details which also have lots of rich data! Thanks for watching!

Great job !!!! Often times we rush through this data and not analyze the contents.

Hello Seraph, Yes, it tempting sometimes to rush through only looking at the names and forgetting the details, which can tell us so much more. Thanks for watching the video!

Thank you for your video! I am having problems on the 1910 census & the Veteran of the Civil War. Do the numbers in that column have any special meaning? As a side note, the radio column you mentioned, my grandfather would take the battery out of his vehicle to run the radio but I'm sure that was after 1930 ;-)
