I went back to that 1920 census record we were struggling to read a couple of months ago and it makes sense now. That c ensus record should read: 1920 - Honea Path, Anderson Co., SC - ED #46 - pg. 8B - 168/169 - image #16 Anderson, Mrs. Jane - head - 59 - wd - SC-SC-SC Greer, Anna - niece - 25 - s - SC-SC-SC Greer, Lilia - niece - 30 - s - SC-SC-SC - Labor Cotton Mill Greer, C???? - daughter - 23 - s - SC-SC-SC - Clerk Leach, Miss Minnie - sister - 50 - s SC-SC-SC Ivester, Mrs. Jennie - niece - 33 - wd - SC-SC-SC Hazel - grandchild - 4 - s - SC-SC-SC Virginia - grandchild - 7 - s - SC-SC-SC J. D. - grandchild - 5 - s - SC-SC-SC Still can't read the name for C. Greer - It looks like Clifton but that would not make sense for a daughter. We had already figured that the designation grandchild was in error. And that word next to Jennie does look like niece. Here is what I have for the 1930 census: Honea Path, Anderson Co., SC - ED #33 - pg. 5B - 104/111 - img. #10: Ivester, Jennie - head - 40 - wd - SC-SC-SC - Laborer Cotton Mill Hazel - daughter - 18 - s - SC-SC-SC Virginia - daughter - 17 - s - SC-SC-SC J. D. - son - 14 - s - SC-SC-SC Leach, Minnie - aunt - 54 - s - SC-SC-SC Greer, Annie - sister - 30 - s - SC-SC-SC Don't you like the way all these folks aged????? <g> Take care - Emma
