Thanks though for trying

Thanks Mo

That tree is my cousin's in Atlanta, she got most of the details from me!


While Im here..............I think I read on Ancestry that the 1940 census was complete/transcribed for NY, I assumed that also meant NJ too but I cant find any of my lot?

I wondered if you'd had a hand in that,Gins!

I don't think the 1940 NJ is done yet. Hang in there.

Mo

Im hanging Mo, Im hanging.....................just wish they'd get a buddy move on

Gin,

Familysearch seem to be the most advanced amongst the bunch for New Jersey in the 1940 US census but even they have only completed 23% so far.

If you know exactly where your Blazek family might be hanging out you might be lucky.

Jonesey, thank you

He's here in 1940 but I cant seem to find him on the census....I did look when it was first released but had no luck.

I got a bit confused with the old workings of the search facility :-S
