Memo is for any information about the family or enumeration

 

WM is for information about the enumeration that applies to that witness only.

 

Currently I am only using the M and WM variables for this census. I haven't really done a lot of census research on 1930. One of my grandmothers was in an orphanage at the time. Her future husband living with his first wife. And my other grandparents were newlyweds with one child.
