he was an independent trucker & when the census man came to call, he was overnighting in Dallas, so got listed as a "resident" of the hotel. Meanwhile, in Corpus, my grandmother is including him in her household.

Fortunately I was able to leave a note so whoever updates the census data online could leave that information on there.
