Eric,
Regarding your last question, yes, a mulatto could have been listed as white
on a census.
As for your 1st question, have you checked older census to see if your
family were slaveholders? The folks you see living around them could be
sharecroppers who may have been former slaves.

Subject: [VA-HIST] Census Question
I am trying to track down my grandmother's roots which are not quite
direct nor clear. In doing so I ran across something a bit unusual and
wanted to get someone's input on this:
During the 1910 census, her family listed as white, was in the middle of
a page that was all blacks and pages on either side of them are all
black families. Why would a white family in the deep south (this was
Georgia) be living in the middle of hundreds of blacks?
Also, could a mulatto be listed as white then?
Thanks.
Eric
