That "v" could look like an "n" or an "r." Sometimes the common names are hard because there are so many of them. Were they living in the same place in the earlier and later census records? Good luck with your search, Wendy.<br /><br />I would be persistent to search for Alfonzo if I had less information about him -- didn't know where he died, didn't know who he married, etc. I'll probably search now and then but I won't spend too much time on that one census record. For a direct line ancestor? Yes, absolutely, until I found him.

Isn't that ridiculous? Anyway, I'm in that same situation right now with an entire family -- and it's my great-grandfather's brother! I cannot find him, his wife, or any of the children in 1920 or 1930 but I can find them before and after that. The last name is Davis, which should be easy enough unless someone's handwriting and an indexer's interpretation are way off.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-18996429865613318932015-09-14T14:41:37.904-04:002015-09-14T14:41:37.904-04:00I just checked Ancestry Library edition.

He's in Fairview township, Butler County, PA, Enumeration District 87, Sheet 13 A, Household 245. <br />Wife Ada, children Aline, Minnie, Earnest.<br /><br />Hope this is him.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
