Hi John & Jim, Have found David Arthur Grimason in a Manchester High School , CT Year Book for 1941 now just need to find him in the Census for the year before hopefully with his parents. For some reason William Grimason and Eunice Grimason are not appearing in the 1940 Census of Manchester, Hartford, Connecticut, USA on Ancestry.com, Same goes for David A Grimason as well, Yet the son of William Grimason, William Reginald Grimason along with his wife Dorothy do appear. Any Idea's. On 11/04/2016 5:13 AM, Jim Owston via wrote: > John: > > The listing for Connecticut is not the birthplace. It is the state > where the Social Security Card was issued.
