In 1940 my parents and children moved into a house at 4046 I st, Juniata section of philly. Not sure of the month. I have found the street and the neighbors, but 4046 I st is not listed. We lived on water st for awhile and then we lived on another st in Juniata for a short time (can't remember the name) and then moved into the 4046 I st address. My question is, If a house is empty would the enumerator have listed it, and listed it as empty? My thinking is no it would not have been listed. Bill Pallatt

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.)
