I looked at it last night but there were some things I didn't know for me to get the right sector or whatever it is you need to find the name. Right now I can think about it.<br /><br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://psalmsunday.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> A Few Words </a><br />An A to Z Co-host blogArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-65407696108448421342012-04-17T13:43:02.404-04:002012-04-17T13:43:02.404-04:00You are so kind.

Momma said they were up and back one year, and then finally moved when she was 12 or 13.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11145530293593063964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-26597715365714654952012-04-17T13:31:09.352-04:002012-04-17T13:31:09.352-04:00Granddaddy had a garage in the 1930 census.

In the Shenandoah history book, there's a copy of an ad from Granddaddy's garage -- can't remember the occasion, some kind of booster ad, I suppose. I noticed in his obit that he had been in Portsmouth 23 years. He died in 1963, so evidently they left Shenandoah sometime in 1940 (certainly after June!).Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-50666459928168238322012-04-17T13:01:08.946-04:002012-04-17T13:01:08.946-04:00Your posts never cease to create in me the urge to...Your posts never cease to create in me the urge to start digging up information on my own family tree.<br />I so enjoy seeing the pictures that you post!<br /><br />Hope you win the gift card!Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05273525995021787486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-37054350989583369362012-04-17T12:59:59.027-04:002012-04-17T12:59:59.027-04:00I'm pretty sure Granddaddy was an electrician ...I'm pretty sure Granddaddy was an electrician in the shipyard, well he could have started out as a mechanic, but he worked with Cam's dad as an electrician. In fact he helped to train Mr.Pollock. It's a small world...<br /><br />I think your theory of Granddaddy seeking work makes the most sense. Especially with all those IOU papers for groceries. It would seem that they weren't able to make a living off the store. Granddaddy repaired cars too, but I am guessing that didn't pay much if folks couldn't afford food.<br /><br />Cool post.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11145530293593063964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-53183336256639185992012-04-17T10:37:38.314-04:002012-04-17T10:37:38.314-04:00Hi Wendy!

Do you think he was messing with the government on that form? Or did a census taker come to their home and fill it out? Very, very interesting.<br /><br />Kathy M.Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171271956883698673noreply@blogger.com
