Hi Sue, I am looking for James R Shaw (my dad), and James Conger and his wife, Hallie (my aunt). My dad spent most of his life in Indiana, but I didn't find him on that census in 1920.. Then from letters from an uncle, I found he was possibly near Haskell in 1920. He met my mother, Edith McBurnette in Oklahoma and she went to Indiana to marry Dad in 1923. I'm hoping I can find him here in Oklahoma. Any help is appreciated. Thanks a bunch. Mary Jo Yancy

Hi, Can anyone tell me what Enumeration District Haskell is in on the 1920 census? At the LDS library they show two films for that census, and I am sure I need only one. I am looking for James R Shaw and James and Hallie Conger. They may have been there in 1920. Any help is greatly appreciated. Mary Jo Yancy
