Miriam, First, find the entries for the Soundex code of the last name you're researching. Within that Soundex code, the entries are alphabetical by first name, so scroll / click through until you find the right first name, then look for entries that have the right combo of first and last name (including variants -- don't get hung up on spelling). The contents of the various columns vary over time, so be sure to read the intro pages that explain how to interpret the entries during each block of time. HTH Claire K.

I sent you the obit directly. I checked on Family Search and the Philadelphia Marriage index shows Amos J Bowers marrying in 1901. The index gives the brides surname as Bowers as well. Sorry, not much help but you could order the marriage license.

Anyone know when the name of Logan Elementary was changed from Logan Demonstration School?

I just got off the phone with someone at Ancestry. They have a FAQ intheir help area. Click on Help (upper right corner) and search on 1940census or search on "5453" to get FAQ 5453 which has the key questions. Two key things: The 1940 census and index will be free through the end of 2013. They expect to have the name index online within a month. Please relay this info to your other lists if appropriate.

Hi, I am helping out with some transcribing and the census sheets we are working from do not always have the houses listed sequentially. A lot of them do but other sheets I have done will have house say 1556, then 0601/2/3 then 1557, 1558. Just as and when the enumerator could get to them. Also keep looking at the DB as I guess new records will be coming on frequently as transcribers do them.)
