Surnames: Marvin Classification: Queries Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Zh.2ADE/1332.1 Message Board Post: From the 1920 census, in Sterling, Sterling Twp., Whiteside Co., IL at 6 East 4th Street was: Marvin, Charles N. M 42 M Bill Poster IL NY PA Harriet A. F 40 M Wife WI Dn No Arnold M 6 S Sn IL IL WI Dolores F 4 S Da IL IL WI Lillian G. F 2 S Da IL IL WI Dale G. M 6m S Sn IL IL WI I am assuming you are knew to genealogy, so will explain the census abbreviations...the normal listing order is Head of Household, Spouse, then Children. The information is Name, Sex, Age, Marital Status, Occupation or relation to Head of Household, birthplace, Father's Birthplace, Mother's Birthplace. So, the above tells us that Marvin was born in Illinois, his father in New York and Mother in Pennsylvania. His wife, Harriet was born in Wisconsin, her father in Denmark and her Mother in Norway. Will check some more resources to see if I can find more. Bob
