    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: MARKCUM, CALLEY, BELLE, HAYS, MATTHEWS, BLYTHE, NUNN, MCADAMS, MILES, DUDDING, MILLER, CHANDLER Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/xU.2ADE/452.5 Message Board Post: Hi Janice - Continuing from the previous post of October 25th, 2002, using Ancestry.com Census Images Online, District 128, the next images are found on image 8 of 19 for the MCADAMS surname. Listed as residing at 298 North Dakota Street, Chandler is Bernice MCADAMS, daughter, white female, age 16, single, born in Texas, father and mother both born in Texas, not employed. She is living with; Alexander MCADAMS, head of household (father of Bernice MCADAMS), white male, age 37, unclear as to whether divorced or widowed (no spouse enumerated on this page), born in Texas as were his mother and father, renting for $10 a month, working for wages as a pressman at a cotton gin. Also listed are; William MCADAMS, brother of Bernice, white male, age 15, single, born in Texas working for wages as a messenger boy for a railroad and a sister, Nannette? (blurred, difficult to read) MCADAMS, white female, age 13, single, also born in Texas. The last image of possible interest to you is 10 of 19 for Ella Mae CALLEY's employer A. J. CHANDLER. The 1930 census lists a Alexander J. CHANDLER, white male, age 70, married since age 60, born in Canada, father born in England, mother born in Scotland, occupation shown interestingly enough as a Capitalist of land development and noted as an entrepeneur. His wife is; Charlotte CHANDLER, white female, age 42. They showed no children being enumerated and they were living on San Marcos Place. Along with he and his wife, his employees (one of which was Ella Mae CALLEY), maintaining two business locations he was also renting rooms to 11 boarders. Alexander J. CHANDLER was obviously a very dynamic individual and undoubtedly there are stories that chroncile his business accumen in newspapers of the day and in biographies available in local libraries. Perhaps Ella Mae CALLEY might be mentioned in such accounts. This concludes what I've been able to find. With this information as a template, you should have little trouble finding other family members in post 1930 public records of various description. Good luck. Glen F. Pritchett, USGENWEB volunteer
