Carter-262 Census Tables Legend

Date: 1790 to 1950
Location: United States

For my AJ Carter profiles where ancestors are in US Censuses, I have decided to add the Censuses in table form for sake of providing useful information on my ancestors. Because of space concerns, I had to abbreviate most terms. For that very reason, I decided to add a legend. This free space will be linked to all and any ancestors who are in Censuses. Is this silly? Maybe. Maybe not. But I am doing it anyway :)
