Hi Mary, I know someone has answered your question, but I want to make sure you and other list members who use HeritageQuest are aware of the Advanced Search feature there. It makes it possible to search for people using whatever parameters you wish, and as long as there are fewer than 1000 hits for a given county and census year, you can then browse through the results to identify the likely record for your ancestor. In this case, I used just the first name, no last name, as the spelling of the surname used in the actual record was not known. I also narrowed to Illinois, Cook County, but got too many hits. Then I tried either Poland or limited to his age group, and finally had to do both to get a list of around 600 hits. Sometimes I do not know whether the person will be listed as from Poland or Russia, so I try both ways. Also, if they could be one of two age groups, I just try each age group separately. There is a link just above the search tab for census records, you click on that and then can choose advanced search. What I filled in looks like as follows: [USEMAP:search_tabs_advanced.gif] Surname __________ Search Given Name stanley___ Clear Census Year [1920] State [Illinois____________] County cook______ Browse County Location __________ Browse Location Age * [41 - 50_____] Sex * [MALE________] Race * [White_______] Birthplace * poland Then the two closest hits I see are these, with the second being the one someone else already told you about. [ ] BRZEZINSKI STANLEY 45 M W POLA IL COOK 34-WD CHICAGO 1920 [ ] BURDZINSKA STANLEY 45 M W POLA IL COOK 30-WD CHICAGO 1920 I had written search tips for using the search engines at Ancestry, but this makes me realize I need to add hints for Heritage Quest as well, often I can find records at Heritage Quest that I cannot pull up at Ancestry. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~thecohens/research.html For those list members who may not know what Heritage Quest is, it is a service which has free census and other genealogy records for people who can access it online from home through subscribing libraries. It is primarily at US libraries, but I think some international libraries may also subscribe. More information about free access thru library databases is on the following page: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~thecohens/resources.html#library On 9/23/11, Mary Hartig <mchehoha@att.net> wrote: > Could some kind person please look up on Ancestry.
