Hi Dottie,
Sorry, I am just getting back to you, I am just getting around to
reading all of my email, as I've been out of state and have not checked
my email while away. I will check those years again. And, you
certainly may be correct and the information that I obtained may be
wrong. BTW, the census information I found was through HeritageQuest
Online database that is only accessible through their genealogy database
such as FamilyTree Maker and/or the online version is specifically
through your local library provided they include this database. I have
to access it using my library card number. I will check again after I
get in later today.
