Jim... I'm sending the April 3, 1930 SF Census page where Neil is located by separate. In it, he is just shy of his first birthday and shown as 11/12 months old. His parents were Peter and Bridget. Bridget may have been a Cassidy, as Peter has a brother-in-law, Timothy Cassidy, living with them at 142 Diamond Street. Peter, Bridget, son Connie (probably Conner?), and Timothy were all born in Ireland. Peter is a street car conductor; Timothy a laborer in a coal yard. I'm not sure if Peter and Bridget were naturalized, but they're shown as having submitted papers in 1923, Timothy submitting in 1927. Hope this helps your niece...

Thanks Barb! It will. Her dad was adopted & finding birth parents has been a challenge. Fortunately we met Neil so I know his name. Again, thanks much!
