Comment Detail: Source includes age (3) and location (Minnesota). Using his age and the official census date of 1 Jan 1920 gives a birth date range from 2 Jan 1916 to 1 Jan 1917. The record value actually looks like an 8, but does not match the general character of other examples of 8 on the page. It also appears to look like a correction was made. For this database, given the other information on this record, the value is presumed to be 3.
