The 1940 Census
I have been trying to look into Grandma's history and my dear friend, Marcia, has an account on Ancestry. I gave her what little information I knew about Grandma and she was able to send me this picture of the 1940's Census that shows Grandma's family. It has a really interesting details that I didn't know about. It is hard to read and you need to increase the size but her family is clearly there and tells of many statistics that pertained to her family at the time. I cried when I read this..I can just picture this time for her being during the depression but I was happy to get the information from my friend. It has listed all of her siblings, their ages, schooling, how much money her older brother and dad made. It is just a really neat document to look at. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.
