I had previously looked at the Iowa genweb for Scott County, but I find nothing on the orphanages for the very end of 1930 or early 1931 through 1940s. Am I missing something? All I find are histories-- and census records up to 1930. The children were with their parents and grandmother and recorded on the census with them---until the grandmother's Sept.29, 1930 death---at some point very soon after that they were placed in the orphanage. I need a list of residents for a non-census year. Yesterday, I wrote the Diocese archivist as suggested in another posting reply . . . no response yet, but maybe I'll hear something from them. Thanks again---still open for any more suggestions . . . Audrey Williams Stanaland
