Huh. Think I found the missing brother in #1940census, training/serving with the Merchant Marines?

That's boggling. Think I found my great great grandmother in #1940census living with one of her son's families in NC.

Hardest thing to make out on these census forms are the jobs/industry. #1940census #oldhandwritingpuzzles

What's funny is seeing names show up in searches that are the same as current relatives. #1940census #namesruninfamilies

Grandparents and g-grandparents listed as being born in the US but weren't! True origins on 1920 and 1930 censuses. Mystery? #1940census

Appears my grandmother was selected for supplemental qs. Confusing because she's not listed as having job above but does below. #1940census

What does "R" mean in the the box 17 (1935 residence)? ("all other places" Huh?) #1940census

Found my maternal grandmother and her family in Conway, SC in the #1940census. (Fortunately it's small because I didn't have the address.)

And there's my dad in Whittier in #1940Census with the rest of the family. Nifty.

Interesting how #1940Census form has you distinguish country where they were born (Northern Ireland vs Republic & English/French Canada)

Finding that Old Man's Draft card came in handy because it had the address circa 1942. Older brother had already left. #1940census

YAHOO! Paydirt. I found my grandfather and his parents living in Philly. #1940census

Not Acceptable!

If Dad has #dementia & thinks #1940census is THIS year's: LET HIM! Better: RECORD his stories about his life in '40! http://bettyslove.org/engage/activities RT

Anxiously watching #1940census come online. Still haven't figured out enumeration district I need for my grandfather's corner of Philly.
