    The Census did not have the Head of the Family at the top. Census Page started with Lodgers with the Head of home about 10 rows down.. How do I add Lodgers who where removed from family so I could re-create family with putting Head of home first on the Family..

    @Dante George Hebert , if I understand correctly, you see that the enumerator of the census record put the lodgers first which made them the head of the household. There isn't anything that we can do about what is on the document. But on the right side of the page we just need to make sure that a check includes the lodgers and they are highlighted to be in the same household.

    I hope that I have understood your concern and question. Thank you for asking about this issue.

    When indexing the first person added to the family is considered Head of house hold no able to remove them from the family and then go back and and them again after the real head of household is indexed.. If I have this situation again I will enter the head of household first and then go back and check all the Lodgers.. Thanks for you help.. will give it another try Dan Hebert
