Friz Freleng birth?

So the Census supports the Social Security year of 1904 - the 1910 census was taken in April, the 1920 census was taken in January, and the 1930 census was taken in April and they all match up. When I do genealogy research and there is no birth record and the preponderance of evidence compiled during the lifetime of the person leads to a specific year, especially a Social Security birthdate for a US born person and THREE consecutive census (it's rare for 3 to match ages) it's usually correct. As for the school story, either he ws mistaken and it was one year, or maybe he started school late or Hugh started school early.

Well stated!! It is indeed very rare for three consecutive censuses to agree. And I corrected my error as to the SS stating which year for Friz's birth.
