Date: Sat, 31 Jan 1998 20:33:39 -0800 (PST)

Sorry for the repeated messge, but i noticed i didn't change the subject
line and you might have deleted it under the last subject
I was requested the 1790 VA census for the Black surname...this is a LONG
list (23 households) so I decided to just send this to the Black list also.
There were four fields for VA census (below), but 3 of the households didn't
give any numbers, just states "head of household". Where a field was left
blank, I put a "-" (without quotes of course)

1: all whites
2: all blacks
3: number or dwellings (house, slave quarters, etc)
4: number of other buildings (barns, etc.)
5: Page number
