Who was my James Mack born 1782 PA? Married 1825 Catherine Growall possibly Somerset Co PA. He was -43- at the time of this marriage. Could he have been married a first time and widowed with no children? Thanks so much for your time and assistance with this question. Unknown when he was born or where just the year of his birth, nothing further.

Here are some instructions for how to access the three day trial. It seems only to begin when you sign up (no credit card it seems) Eliz 22 June 2006 Free Three-Day Access to the 1930 U.S. Federal Census The launch of the every-name index marks the completion of the U.S. Federal Census Collection at Ancestry.com. The massive project took over 6.6 million hours of labor and 21.9 billion keystrokes to manually enter the census names into the database. 15,000 rolls of microfilm–thirteen million original census images–were scanned and transcribed to complete the project. To celebrate this milestone, Ancestry.com is offering free access to the 1930 U.S. Federal Census for three days. Just visit Ancestry.com and click through the census tour or click on one of the Census is Complete banners on the site. *Act fast. Free access to the 1930 U.S. Census will expire soon. 6/23/06 NOTE: I’ve heard from a few people with questions as to how to access the free search. Here’s a bit more information: The free period starts when you first access it. If you go to the Ancestry.com homepage, you should see a window open up announcing the free three-day access and allows you to Start Here. If you bypassed the page and went straight to Ancestry.com, you can still access the free 1930 census through the homepage. In the upper right corner of the homepage, you should see a brown and orange ad with a green button that says “Dive In.” Click on that and it will take you through a presentation that you can click through by hitting “Continue.” On that next page there is a green link to “Search Now.” That will open a search box where you can search. When you find someone, click on that name and on the next screen you will see include the index entry and an option (to the right) to view the actual image. Good luck with your searches! Juliana

Joan A quick check of the 1920 census shows this family living in Okemah, Okfuskee Co., OK and indicates that Charles GUTHRIE was born in Texas and both of his parents were born there as well. Nora Belle was born in Kansas. Her father was born in TN and her mother in Indiana. It was apparently the mother's family which carried the genetic Huntington's Disease which was to kill Woody GUTHRIE. Joan
