In doing genealogical research, experience sometimes makes it easy to guess the race of a person in census records. Try the following from 1920 census records, but no peeking in the census. The person was born in a southern state, with an unusual name, has a manual occupation and a usual church affiliation:

    Queen Victoria Harris
    Born c. 1881
    Virginia
    Servant, Cook for private family

Need another clue? An obituary usually gives the church affiliation:

    Church: Baptist
