Response to Cencus?

The reason the census directions say to not count relatives that are at college, institutions, incarcerated, etc. is because they count the census at those institutions separately and they don't want people double counted. My geneology research has included trying to find by grandfather in an orphanage. I had to go to that orphanage to look for his name in their census. I also have a relative who was in an institution for the blind. That is where I have to look for them in my search. This would be the case for prisons, etc. It's not that your relatives won't be able to find family members, they will just have to find them in the place they were living at the time of the census.
