I have a house that was built in 1952.  I am replacing an existing ceiling fan.  The wires form the house consist of a red and white wire, no black.  I believe the red wire is for the light switch to the fan.  The pre-existing fan had the white wire connected to the white and the others (black and black/white) connected to the red.  Is this correct?  I have also noticed that there is no black wire in any outlet.
