Hi Tom You asked the Del County List: << I am helping a group of people who put the story of St. Vincent's Orphanage, Drexel Hill, together. We want the names of the girls and staff that were in it in 1920 when it was located at Point Pleasant, Ocean Co., NJ. Isn't there someplace on the web I can access the 1920 census? I have searched the web without luck. I found places to get summaries and statistics of the census but not names. >> Images of the Census population schedules for 1920 are available at both www.genealogy.com and www.ancestry.com, but access to both is by paid subscription. The microfilms are available through LDS Family History Centers and the branch National Archives. The orphanage was located in Enumeration District 171, in Brick Township, Ocean County, which included Point Pleasant in 1920. The St. Vincent Children's Home listings begin on Sheet 12A and extend through Sheet 16B, and list about 430 children, both boys and girls, and they make up about one-quarter of the district's total population. In the Ancestry.com version, these sheets are images 23 through 32 of the 33 images covering the district. Donn Devine, CG, CGI Wilmington DE CG, Certified Genealogist, CGI, and Certified Genealogical Instructor are service marks of the Board for Certification of Genealogists, used under license by board certificants after periodic evaluation, and the board name is registered in the US Patent & Trademark Office.

Tom If you are near Morman History Center, they only charge you about $3.25 per film. That is a lot of names to copy from the census on line.
