I found an article that gives me a reason why I could not find my mother's cousin in the St. Louis area census for 1930...it seems he was a resident of the state penitentiary since May 17, 1929, under sentence of 5 years for first degree armed robbery, Do you suppose they took a census for the inmates in Jefferson City? Is that where the state Pen was at that time? S.Reif
Did you try Ancestry? Having the nation-wide index available makes it so much easier than trying to guess where someone was on the day of enumeration. If you don't have a subscription, send me his name and I will try to find him. I have seen the institutions (including brothels in Butte) listing the inmates by name.

A stationary engineer was someone who took care of engines that didn't move (therefore, stationary). My great-grandfather worked in the Youngstown, Ohio steel mills, and was called a "stationary engineer". --- Dan and Alice Lee <danlee@scrtc.com> wrote: > Can someone please tell me what the census entry "Engineer (St.)" > means?

Everyone, I heard from 2 ladies at the St. Louis County Headquarters Library today that the St. Peter's Cemetery is now taking on the management of Frieden's Cemetery. It seems there were many problems at Friedens so this is the current and only way any one can obtain information about a Frieden's grave. If you go to the cemetery, there is no one at the office. You have to have some concept of the cemetery or a map of the cemetery ahead of time for the St. Peter's people to help you. When you go to their web site listed below there is a phone number to call. They can look up the name for you and tell you the location by section, lot, etc. The St. Peter's Church web site governs St. Peter's Cemetery and Bethany Cemetery as well. Keep in mind this information is second hand and I am just passing along what I was told. Here's the web site: _www.stpeterschurch.org/cemetery_ (http://www.stpeterschurch.org/cemetery) It worked for me. A big thanks to those two ladies whose names I didn't get.

>From another List: ============= Census Mortality Schedules Research Tool Released from Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter by Dick Eastman The following press release was written by GenealogyBuff.com: GenealogyBuff.com http://www.genealogybuff.com/ released a new research tool this week for researching census mortality schedules which have been transcribed and posted across the web. MortalitySchedules.com _http://mortalityschedules.com/_ (http://mortalityschedules.com/) is a directory of these schedules which provides a search function to find surnames for genealogy research. Port Neches, TX - July 21, 2007 -- GenealogyBuff.com announced the release of a new online research tool this week. This tool, MortalitySchedules.com, indexes and links to online transcriptions of the Federal Census Mortality Schedules which were taken during census years 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880. These schedules list deaths which occurred in the enumeration district for the previous year. A valuable resource for genealogy studies, mortality schedules contain information that, in many cases, give the only record of an ancestor's death. The census enumerators were instructed to give great care and obtain accurate information, especially for these mortality schedules. Bill Cribbs, the owner and webmaster for both GenealogyBuff.com and MortalitySchedules.com, spent many days combing cyberspace, to find transcriptions of these records. Most of these online transcriptions were made by individuals who volunteer their time and effort freely. A volunteer will normally transcribe an individual county or, in most cases, one census year for that county. Thousands of transcriptions are located on a multitude of servers across the web. "I compiled a directory of every schedule that I could locate. There are still more to be found and they are being added to MortalitySchedules.com as they are discovered," stated Cribbs. [The site is free to use. But remember there are likely to be errors in spelling so use your imagination.] Gloria ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour

I used a comptometer years ago after graduating from high school in 1955. Yes - they were very large calculator like devices for bookkeeping purposes where I worked. Doesn't surprise me that they are not in the newer dictionaries though. They took out such things to add the smutty words that would never have been in there 50 years ago.
