It has an enormous amount of info (including access to actual census images from every census taken through 1930)...but it's not cheap (I don't remember exactly but I want to say $200-300/year). Anyway, I may have misled you on the 1930 census thing. I found a Social Security Death Index (SSDI) record for Bettye L. Dunn that states her DOB as 11 Oct 1935 and her DOD as 8 Feb 2003 in Livingston, Polk County, TX. Her SSN is 467-06-2763 and it was issued in 1970 in Texas. If that is your mother, then you should disregard the 1930 census stuff I gave you and request a copy of your mother's Form SS-5 (Social Security Card Application) from the IRS. You can google and find out how to order this. I think it costs about $20-30 and it takes about 6 weeks to get it. But it will be a copy of the SSA application that your mother filled out and signed and it should list the names of her parents. It's a good place to start.
