Afternoon folks

Just a quick question is the US Census searchable by name or do you have to know the state too . Thanks

Sylvia

I would think you would have to know the state and some dates to Mark.
What info do you have.

Mark

Mark Report 21 Oct 2012 12:33

Just the full names of 3 children also full names of parents who i amagine would also be on the same census with them,,

It is searchable by name only. Who are you looking for and in which census.

Mark

Mark Report 21 Oct 2012 12:41

Would Robert and Shirley not still be single in 1940? I can't see how you would find the children's names from the Census.

Mark

Mark Report 21 Oct 2012 13:36
