I was doing some genealogical research and looking at Census records from 1880 and 1900 and gee, people said how old they were and what their relationship was to other members of the household, and what type of work they did and lots of other information. Apparently they weren't true Americans, since they filled out all this information almost 150 years ago and their descendants have been doing it since. Funny how now it is such a big inconvenience or threat or unlawful or whatever the spin of the day is. It’s kind of funny.
