Notes
Alice: Alice only appears in the 1880 census, where she is clearly
listed as a female born in April 1880. By the 1885 Kansas census, she is no
longer listed but there is a Bertie -- a male, age 4. Since the 1885 census
was to be taken as of 1 Mar 1885, a child of age 4 would have been born
between Mar 1880 and February 1881. Alice, born in April, fits in that
range. But so does Bert who was born in May 1880. The easiest conclusion is
that the 1880 entry for Alice is completely wrong and really refers to Bert.
