Celebrity Census — Just For Fun

One of the most fascinating things about the United States or any other Census is that these historical documents contain the names of everyone — famous and imfamous, well known or obscure. Some people had already achieved noteriety when the census enumerator came knocking, others would become known years or even decades later — either because of their own actions of those of their descendants. Some of the names, however, may not be exactly what they seem. We've found entries for Minnie Mouse, Joe Cool, Ping Pong, Harry Potter, and many more. In fact, we recently shared details about a number of special finds in time for the upcoming holiday season. Read about our Santa Clause and other holidays finds. This is our most popular category to date with over 240 entries in this category alone!! It will be a lot of work to get them online, but we'll keep you laughing every day of the year, that's for certain!!
