Note (2) The 1920 Census of the Frank Sweeney family included a child, Pearl B. Sweeney, whose age was given as 0/12 (under one month), but it did not include a child named Virginia despite her documented 24 December 1919 birth date. Since the enumeration date of that census was Jan 20 1920, the 0/12 age would reflect a birth date of late December, and since no other record of a child named Pearl has been found for this family, it would appear that Pearl was actually Virginia.Name Index
