I am on my second go-round right now. Get this. My Mom KNEW the enumerator, or at least her family.
Mom is going on 94. I have my very own history book sitting in the kitchen, eating dinner as I type this!

Adding:

Now I'm on a second enumerator, and Mom knew her too!
And this one is taking data ACROSS THE STREET from my Mom's house.
I'm yelling the computer - GO ACROSS THE STREET, GO ACROSS THE STREET!

If I wasn't insane before I took up this 'hobby,' I sure am now.

Adding more:

FOUND THEM!!!! Must have been moving too fast yesterday. YEAH!!!!!!!!! Or is it YEAH!!1111!!!!!? Happy dance!
