All,

A while back John Cardinal gave me a solution to a problem, which I think I
can use again. I've noticed that several people create both male and female
roles for their early census tags since the names were not given. Why?

But I think this will work as well:

Role - [Free White 00-05]
Male Sentence - [R:Free White 00-05] was probably included as a free white
male, under the age of 5, in [R:HeadOfHousehold]'s household on the 1840
Census <[L]>.
Female Sentence - [R:Free White 00-05] was probably included as a free white
female, under the age of 5, in [R:HeadOfHousehold]'s household on the 1840
Census <[L]>.

Anyone see any problems with this approach?

Thank you for your time,
Kevin L. Sholder
