EXAMPLES OF RACE

The following are the most frequent entries that appear in the race field.  However they are by no means the only choices and some unusual entries for this field can be found.  For example, there is a person in 1930 whose race is listed as "Proto", whatever that is, 9 others who are listed as "Yellow", 10 as "Jew", and one as "Heb".  The values in this field are by no means considered "politically correct" by today's standard.
