Sharon's questions; my answers are interspersed:
"...INMA or LO what do these stand for?"
Inmate and Lodger, respectively.


"...what is NR?"
Not Reported. On the Miracode, it's not always true that something
(esp. age) is "not reported" on the actual census, it's just that when
they set up the Miracode program, they didn't allow for some things
(ages reported in fractions of a year, certain relationships, etc.), so
the Miracode index just says "NR." Sometimes the data really is NR,
though. You should check the original to see what it says.


"...COLOR: W;W why are there 2 W's? or could this be a transcription
error/typo on the internet?"
Could be. I'd check the original to see what it really says.


"...6 non-relatives...How can I find out the names of the 6
non-residents living in this household?"
First, they're non-relatives, not non-residents. Look at the actual
census return (not just the Miracode index) to get the full report on
the household.


Hope that helps.
