I have a subscription here and they have the census images and some are indexed. I found Harry Shoemaker in 1920 in Longmont, Boulder County in ED26 on page 11A ; it was taken on the 16th & 17th of Jan. It looks like they are on Coffman Street. Shoemaker...Harry..rents..age 37..born Kansas..father born Indiana..mother Indiana.."Supt. City Waterwoks" Mable..wife..age 35..born Kansas..Indiana..Illinois Vail..son..age 12..born Colorado..in school 1930 got kind of interesting. I found a Vail Shoemaker in Ohio but he wasn't this one. How many people named "Vail Shoemaker" can there be ? It doesn't look like any relationship but you may want to keep this tucked away in your notes just in case. It was in ED28, Belle Center, Logan, Ohio (page 5B). Shoemaker Jerry H...60 Etta M...wife..55 Vail,,son..32 [looks like] Belva..daughter-in-law..23 Thelma..granddaughter..5 Donald..grandson..3 They and all parents born Ohio. Had trouble finding Harry & Vail in 1930. Then I used the soundex on the index and they are now "Shumaker." Checked a few sites I know ( http://hollyhockfarms.com/coboulder/ http://www.rootsweb.com/~collgs/ http://icris.co.boulder.co.us/documentSearch.jsp ) and apparently that is their prefered modern spelling. Harry and Mabel are now in ED35 Wellington, Larimer County (page 3B), taken 4 April. Shumaker Harry F...rents..48..married at age 22..Kansas..Indiana..Indiana..Wholesaler Continental Oil Co. "Mabel M."..wife..45..married at 19..Kansas.."Illinois" [1920=Indiana]...Illinois Vail is in Longmont, Boulder County ED53 page 9A and it was taken on 10 April. They are on Coffman Street ; may be the same house. Shumaker Vail F...rents..23..married at 18..Colorado..Kansas..Kansas..Electrican [for] City Bessie G...wife..22..17..Colorado..Illinois..Missouri Shirley M...daughter..4 6/12..Colorado Helen F...daughter..3 2/12..Colorado The other records were pretty skimpy so I suspect they moved on from Boulder County. In fact the SSDI has a Vail Shumaker who died in Pueblo County. Hope it helps, David
