Yes, very proud. My mother was and is an inspiration to me, and now to her grandchildren. She always taught us to fight for what we believe in. The logo for Another Mother for Peace read "War is unhealthy for children and other living things". Kat

Dear Bill,   As always thanks for compiling such compelling photos and information about historical events. I always return to 1906 Quake and Fire with amazement that most of my family (and other families) survived it.   American Hurrah is an excellent for resource for visual and historical observations.   Thanks again,   Dean From: Bill Roddy <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2012 8:10 AM Subject: [NORCAL] Remembering April 18, 1906 On the link below you can read the following items with many photos and text.

Great Pictures Bill - I have some in the pan handle after the march. I am 8 years old, my mom took all of us with her. My mom was in a group - Another Mother for Peace - do you know it? I took a piece of the stationary she still had and made T-shirt transfers and my mom, my daughter and I all wore them to the peace rallies in Sonoma before we went to war. Many older woman remembered the group and before you know it I was making t-shirts for so many people. Great memories. Kat

* *I found my husband at the end of the census in the ED. He was only an infant (8/12) but not listed with his parents or grandmother, who all lived in the same house! I can't imagine they went back for a baby when the adults were all listed.

Do you remember the Vietnam Peace March in 1967? Some snapshots I took in San Francisco. My wife is in second frame. It's about time to have one for Afghanistan. Bill http://americahurrah.com/SanFrancisco/VietnamPeaceMarch.htm

Ancestry and Family search both index each individual entry on a separate line and linked to the exact page and line they are found on. Missing members of the household need to be searched separately and they will be linked to the page and line where they are found. Sometimes there's a note for where they belong but that is not indexed. Where a family is continued on the next page the household number should link the members on the next page to the correct head of household. Sometimes that number is not shown by either indexer and it passes arbitration between both indexers. I've been arbitrating one district in Kern county this morning where the enumerator hasn't numbered any of the households...and they all appear to be separate households. He also negliected to put addresses on the census sheet too. Between these mistakes and other's that I've found some people are going to find it hard to find their relatives. But this is no different than any other census I've worked on. My biggest peeve right now is literal minded indexers. I'm sure lots of you write n's and u's very similarly in cursive. I come across one of these ambiguous letters in 'Lo*isa' and I immediately see it as Louisa. Then I look again to see if it's possibly Lovisa but I don't think I've ever decided it's Lonisa. Lots of indexers don't decipher Mexican names. I guess I'm lucky, I can see the correct spelling under the bad handwriting. If any of your are indexing, please read the direction....and use common sense.

I had this happen where a family in an earlier census was split over 2 consecutive pages, and the first child on the second page was listed as a head of a unique household (which included one or ,or more siblings) and not linked to the parents (on the transcription, not on the census). There was no way with the error reporting options to fix or report this online - they said they would have the engineers fix it. Unless they improve transcription and error reporting a whole lot, I would guess phone calls will be the only way to get these error rectified if we notice them. Or maybe an email, but I imagine it would take a lot of emails to get them to see the error.

Dean and Everyone, I'm reporting back that I was able to attach the web link to the other members of the household today, so Ancestry quickly took care of this little problem. Good luck to everyone. Susan

Yes, I printed them.

Dean and others, Look at the last pages of the ED. I have indexed several pages that have continuations of families. On one occasion the enumerator wrote that the family was continued because the information from the neighbor did not allow her/him to leave enough lines for the family. I wonder how Ancestry will handle this. I guess they will put all members of a family together, but how will they show that some are on one page and some are on another non consecutive page? Nancy in Louisiana From: "Dean Micha Desman" At least your grandma was in the census! Somehow the enumerator didn't take note that my grandparents had an 8 year old daughter. Let us know if Ancestry can fix the glitch. I do have Ancestry. Dean

She turns 80 this year. I hope she's around for the 1950 census! Well I found some of my cousins at the home of some other Aunts and/or Uncles where for one reason or another they were staying the day of the census. rich [email protected]

At least your grandma was in the census! Somehow the enumerator didn't take note that my grandparents had an 8 year old daughter. Someone at NORCAL said that sometimes the emunerator wouldn't list someone if they weren't home. My great grandmother was home every day and took care of my mother while grandma was teaching school. You don't think Grandma is going to forget to mention her 8 year old granddaughter? Pretty bad census taking. Mom felt "left out." She turns 80 this year. I hope she's around for the 1950 census!   Let us know if Ancestry can fix the glitch. I do have Ancestry.   Thanks in advance,   Dean From: Susan Stuart <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, April 13, 2012 6:14 PM Subject: [NORCAL] 1940 Census Glitche on Ancestry Hi everyone, I know that all of you don't belong to Ancestry, but I thought I'd pass along my recent interaction with them in case it helps anyone. Ancestry says that you can't attach the 1940 census to anyone until it is indexed, but you can attach the web link to their profile page.  I did this with my grandfather and it worked fine, however, when I tried to attach it to grandma and the kids, I got an error message and it wouldn't let me.  I spent over 40 minutes on the phone with Ancestry yesterday afternoon and they couldn't solve this problem.  My representative got her supervisor involved and they really tried.  They even pulled up my grandpa's profile page and went through the process of trying to attach it to Grandma, and no dice.  They finally decided they were going to have to file an internal report, and promised me an email with an update. Today, I tried to attach the web link to my husband's grandmother (she is head of household) and I got the same error message.  I'm just going to hope that when they solve the one problem, it solves the other.  In the meantime, you can save the jpg of the census page to your computer, which I highly recommend because after going through 34 of 66 pages to find the family, I wouldn't want to lose it and have to do it again!
