Barbara, I checked all the COLBERTs in the 1930 index in MA, but none of your family names are showing up. Sorry I couldn't find your family, Lou -------------original message------------------ In a message dated 11/06/03 11:14:30 AM Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes: << Hi, again.

So, basically, here is what I am looking for: Edward I Colbert, b 1901 Head? Dorothy H (Meyer) Colbert b 1903 Wife Dorothy M Colbert b 1923 dau Edward P Colbert b 1925 son Barbara Colbert b 1926 dau (that's me!) If it is possible, without a lot of extra work, to find us in Massachusetts in 1930, I'd be so-o grateful. If there is no luck, I can try to Maine Census site. Thanks so much for being there for those of us without the info more easily available. Barbara Barton >>
