She had dark hair and wasn't as tall as the rest of sisters. Maybe you were away at college?? Glad you found her picture.

Th...Haven't the 1940 Census been a revelation? That is if the spelling is correct and the handwriting legible. Which in most cases of the ones I've accessed have been. Good job reading between the lines to figure out where and when things happened between 1930 and 1940. I've discovered some very interesting facts that way as well. Thanks for visiting CITexas Gal. I hope I'm on the way back to My Family Tree and History. Your doing a great job with yours.Sue McPeakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927975578544675345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-63301967165922593362012-08-12T20:41:25.647-04:002012-08-12T20:41:25.647-04:00I wonder how today's census forms will appear ...I wonder how today's census forms will appear in the future. In 2010 we received a typed form in the mail which I filled in by hand, so I assume some day someone will be interpreting my handwriting. But I don't know. In the census records we can see, errors are a combination of mistakes by informants, mistakes by enumerators, and mistakes by indexers. Then those of us reading them add our own mistakes.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-79521638106165403762012-08-12T20:37:42.331-04:002012-08-12T20:37:42.331-04:00I know.
