Regarding Alternate names for Head of Household

Occasionally the enumerator does not indicate "Head" for the head of household.  We all know that in 1880 the Head is left blank, but we are still to consider it a head of household and duly mark it as a 1 in our inputting screens.

Occasionally an enumerator will list the head of household as Husband, followed by wife and children.  This too can be treated as "Head" and marked as 1 in the screen. [However, if wife is listed first as head followed by husband, then she should the 1, and he should be the 7].  There have even been times when the enumerator consistently indicates the head as Father, followed by mother and children.  This too can be treated as a Head (1) and spouse (7).  This way when you input the child as a 2, the relationship relates back to the head of household.  Here is a LINK to see an example.
