I've tried every possible combination using Ancestry.com to find someone on the 1930 census without any luck. I'm assuming that the transcriber misread his name and I can't find him by searching. I wonder if the 1930 census for Tennessee has been indexed by someone besides Ancestry-like Ancestral Quest or a local genealogy group or? I'm trying to find; Cyrus Arthur Moore born 1899 Missouri. His father was born in Delaware his mother in Missouri. From 1924 to 1934 he was in Memphis TN. He was working in advertising at a newspaper. He may have been married but I don't know who to. He died in CA in 1986. His SSN was issued in Texas. I have found him in 1900, 1910, & 1920 and his draft registration. I've started going through the census page by page but there are too many of them. There are 249 districts with maybe an average of 40 pages per district=over 9,000 pages. If anyone has access to an index besides Ancestry.com could they please check it for me? John

His children don't know. I guess if I was in Memphis I could look at old phone books if they are around.
