Question 1

How should we treat the information about her in this page of the 1940 census and why?

Answer

It was accurate: Mildred directly provided information to the census taker.

It was probably accurate: Mildred did not provide information to the census taker but was related to the informant.

It was possibly inaccurate: Mildred did not provide information to the census taker and was not related to the informant.

It was definitely inaccurate: We can see notable inconsistencies between Mildred’s regular information and the supplemental questions.
