2) List them, their family members, their birth years, and their residence location (as close as possible). Do you have a photograph of their residence from about that time, and does the residence still exist?
Graet Grandmother – Anna (Murcko) Scerbak (1872-1967) – She isn’t in the 1940 census because she lived in Udol, Slovakia! However, she was alive and well in 1940.
Great Grandmother Annie Maude (Stuart) Adams (1874-10 Sept 1940) – Annie was living with my grandparents, Vernon (1899-1968) Adams and Hazel (Coleman) Adams (1901-1995) and in failing health. Also at home were my mother, Doris Priscilla Adams (1923-2008), and my two aunts, Barbara and Carole. The family lived at 630 Wyndemere Road, Ridgewood, New Jersey. The house is still standing.
Julia (Scerbak) Sabo (1893-1985) and my father, George Michael Sabo (1926-1985) were living at 49 Summer Street, Passaic, New Jersey. The house is also still standing:
I had two parents, three grandparents and two great grandparents living in 1940, although one great grandmother lived in Udol, Slovakia.
Thank you, Randy, for this week’s fun challenge.
Love how you included photos of the houses!
Seven seems to be around the average number of ancestors alive in 1940. But maybe Slovakia had a census sometime around 1940 also?
Only one I know of was in 1869!
Love the black & white photos of the homes. This was a fun exercise.
