24	Comments and Annotations - this column is available to anyone who has additional information or corrections to make to the census information.

Note: "NR" shows that citizenship information was not recorded by the census taker. "NR" should have been filled in by the census taker when transcribing the enumeration cards but most often was not. The transcriber used it to show that nothing was recorded in that column, so as not to mislead folks that it was missed in the transcription. That is also why I used the "---" in places, to show that the census taker had not entered any data into the column.
