Lisa, Every single one of us was new to this at some time or other, and I was also a "newbie" in 1970, when there was absolutely NO one handy to help with interpretations. This list is the most helpful of all, so please never hesitate to ask for help with lookups whenever you need to. The folks who help here will always do whatever they can to lend a hand, whenever possible. 1910 Eastland County, Texas - Justice Precinct 4 - April 30?, 1910 - ED 43/Sheet 13B 259 - Luker, Henry W., head; M W 55 Md 1/28 years; GER GER GER; immigrated 1868; farming/general farm; owns free farm #232 Magrett, wife; F W 52 Md 1/28 years; 8 children/7 living; GER GER GER Maggie, dau; F W 23 S; born TX; no occupation Henry, son; M W 21 S; born TX; laborer/farm labor Awldwin, son; M W 18 S; born TX; laborer/farm labor Annie, dau; F W 17 S; born TX; attended school Walter, son; M W 15 S; born TX; attended school Martin, son; M W 10 S; born TX; attended school And here's this family in 1900, to the best of my ability to interpret the census taker's handwriting: 1900 Eastland County, Texas - Justice Precinct 4 - June 18, 1900 - page 161A 189 - Luker, Henery, head; Apr 1856, age 44; married/17 years; GER GER GER; immigrated 1868/in the US for 31 years; farmer; owns mortgaged farm #176 Marrgret, wife; Apr 1858, age 42; married/17 years; 8 children/7 living; GER GER GER; immigrated 1881/in the US for 19 years; no occupation Alwina, dau; Jul 1883, age 16; born IL Margaret, dau; Feb 1887, age 13; born TX Henry, son; Apr 1889, age 11; born TX Alwin, son; Jun 1891, age 8; born TX Anna, dau; Feb 1893, age 7; born TX Walter, son; Mar 1895, age 5; born TX Martin, son; Apr 1900, age 2 months; born TX Good luck!

I'm looking for information on Alwin Friedrich Ludwig Luker, his parents, and his siblings. I'm looking at an image of what I believe to be the correct census page, but I'm having trouble reading the writing. Can you tell me what it says about the head of the household and his wife? I'm 80% sure that the siblings are: Alwin Luker Almina Luker Anna Luker Henry Luker Margarett Luker Martin Luker Walter Luker -- Lisa Stapp ICQ-27424429 IM-lthrncnfssns Yahoo!-WorthyWoman Web Site URL: http://www.worthywomanpage.com (To protect your children on the Internet http://hop.clickbank.net/?lmstapp/finer ) ==== TX-CENSUS-LOOKUP Mailing List ==== To Unsub from digest mail mode, send the command "unsubscribe" to XX-CENSUS-LOOKUP-D-request@rootsweb.com (Remove the XX and replace it with your state abbreviation ) ============================== Jumpstart your genealogy with OneWorldTree.
