Gerry,
Good morning!
I realize that wholeheartedly, but to have this big of a screwup....oh,
wait, this is the Federal Government....
73 from 807,

I admit that one point does not make a trend but what I found was
eyeopening.
I wanted just Fond du Lac county in Wisconsin to use as a base map
for mapping project that I am working on ( a Boy Scout campground). I
pulled in my files into QGIS and then brought in
"fe_2007_55039_edges". I did not get Fond du Lac County but a huge
overview of north Illinois, Indiana and SE Michigan. OUCH!!!
I even went and downloaded a virgin fileset and got the same results
(see picture).

This is not good. I plan on sending on a comment to the Census Bureau.
So, let the user beware - YMMV.
Unfortunately, this warning has always been necessary with TIGER
files. They're not the best GIS data source. They're just available
and free.
