    Wow! This was a superb webinar. I'm in the middle of a project and trying to prove a kinship relationship and this has given me a lot of new ideas. I have some conflicting census information and was wondering how to present it. Thank You!!

    It was fascinating! I learned so many little bits of information that I had not thought through before. Case in point...when people were being taken care of in an institution or "old age home for the destitute", these people in 1910 and 1920 were called inmates! I always wondered why that was, as one of my relatives was actually the director of one of these institutions in Wisconsin in the early 1900's in Wisconsin. "inmates" didn't seem to describe the work my mother and aunt had described that he did.
