Dear Listers: What an opportunity to be able to check the 1930 U.S. Census records on Footnote.com for free during the month of August. You must register. Did that. Type the names in and the answer comes up. That worked for one person. Subsequent entries all came up with unable to complete at this time. It was disappointing. Pauline

Pauline, you may have run into a heavy volume of users when you were at the site. I just accessed the site now. I typed in three different names that I knew should be there. All came up. I would certainly keep trying. One thing I noticed was that the spelling of names seems to have to be exact. I couldn't find my Aunt Julia Linting in Detroit at first, but when I searched, using her husband's name (Hilbert Linting), it came up. Her name in the census was spelled incorrectly as 'Jewlia". Good luck.
