Precisely. I think the conversation long ago passed the point of being about
_trying_ to do it (did you see my most recent post?) and became a
conversation about clarifying exactly what _did_ happen when they merged.
In point of fact, I several days ago evolved a plan for replacing the

Now *I'm* confused. I've entered census information for 1850-1930 and
haven't found a single instance where the person of interest couldn't be

I just checked 1930 and you do have to scroll down to get to this field
