It always feels good to work in test.  ;-)   Best be safe
and not have to worry about recovering from accidents.

Each year or less.   Then delete them after you've deleted
the rows in between.

You only need a row on the birthday if there's "old style"
census rows on every day following the birthday.   Otherwise
you want the earliest "temporary" census row right next to
the earliest "old style" census row.
