Surnames: Anderson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Wl.2ADIB/9471.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Have you found Melvin senior in the 1930 census? Then the younger Melvin would be about 1 or 2 and in all probability there in the household. I am finding several Melvin Andersons with father's named Melvin. In order to find someone in an area as vast as the US just a little information is needed. So we know there is a Melvin born 1905 living somewhere in the US that has a son Melvin maybe born about 1928, do you know what state? does he have a wife? are there other siblings? Race? Anything else that can be used to distinguish one family from another.
