The rich and the famous
« on: Friday 16 May 08 16:29 BST (UK) »
after getting bored of my own tree last night i decided to try and find famous people in the census records. i only looked for a few mins and found Bram Stoker and George Bernard shaw. I was just wondering if anyone else has tried this and who have you found?
