One more Rhodes line and I can move on to the next Cassidy!
I came across an interesting find this week in my research. One of my distant cousins married a man who was born in Hawaii. What made this interesting was that it was well before Hawaii became the 50th state. Included in the documents I found for this gentleman was the US Census from 1910. For the most part, the form looked just like that used for the states currently in the Union. However, the header for the Hawaiian census was just a little different as it included a field for the island where the residents were enumerated. Hawaii only has four counties; some counties consist of multiple islands. This was something Phil and I discovered on our vacation last year.
