That might be a fun job.

I was able to find my grandmother using the 1930 census. They are great tools for genealogy.

My cousin did that the last time around.

She'd been a travel agent and needed a break from it.

She spent lots of time in the Dakotas and loved the places she went and the people she met.

My cousins and I found the names of two of my father's (and their mother's) siblings who died in the 1918 influenza epidemic.

We were also a little puzzled by one name on two different censuses.

Then, we realized that, both times, the census taker had trouble spelling my father's Gaelic name.

My grandparents' brogues probably didn't help matters.

When I found my family in the 1930 census for San Diego county (CA), I thought, "Oh, nice! The census taker neatly printed every entry!" I then looked at the enumerator; it was my great-grandmother!
