I was poking around in some census records from the late 1800's for Dad's family.
His family had taken in a boarder, who I will call George. He was from New Jersey.
I decided to search his name, as that last name was family lore, as a relative (still haven't figured that one out yet).
I found his name in a much later census.
He lived in the County poorhouse--right down the road from where I live now! (I wasn't from this area originally ; we bought a house here when we married.)
Weird--but fun!
