Just like the people, businesses, and homes for which the U.S.
Census Bureau collects data, some questions simply do not fit
into an easily definable category. If your question was not
answered by one of the other FAQ sections, perhaps you will find
it here. If not, e-mail your question to the Census Bureau's
History Staff. As evidenced by this 1930s photo, the process of
transferring data from a handwritten census schedule to punch
cards was largely performed by women. These clerks would produce
thousands of punch card each day that were tabulated, sorted,
and tabulated again, to produce statistical tables.
