Cyrille, Joe is right about the indexes. They can be a big help but you still sometimes just have to look page by page. I found an uncle I was looking for as a young single man in the Army in GA. I had been looking for him in PA where the rest of the family lived (and where he returned to after Army service). I found him by putting his name into 1920 census index lookup without a state. Can't find his brother though. His oldest brother is listed twice in the index, but my grandfather is not on the index at all, but I found him just about where I knew he was living, same county just different township. So the advice is: look in the index but still look at the pages themselves even if you don't find your party in the index. Sandy
