If you wanted to add more information to the census it would be a case of what to leave out! Some people would write the equivalent of War and Peace if they were allowed to. Maybe the best thing would be to have more categories.

That would be a super idea but I am sure I read somewhere that the census will be a thing of the past soon.

I've decided since doing my tree that i'm going to put extra details on my next census form and say hello to those searching my census in years to come, lol

i think there should be a column for putting notes on then i can add bits and pieces to help my descendants in their research

what does everyone else think
