Researchers already routinely use the records you mentioned, and more -- for example, city directories and the 1890 veterans' census. The nerd work might be able to piece together a reasonable facsimile of who was living in the country Janice M.

But take solace in the face that not only am I older than you, neither one of us will show up in a census until 1970. And unless the rules change, that census will not be made available to the public until 2042. Does that sound far enough away?Janice M.
