Surnames: Gordon Smith Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/lEC.2ACE/472 Message Board Post: Hello Mary- One problem solved; another discovered...... Susan Cummins did indeed send me a picture of the Gordon Smith that lived on West Cedar (about 1940). It is a match, no doubt about it. So I finally located Gordon Smith in the 1930 census..... he was 9 yrs old, living at 568 West Cedar with GRANDPARENTS Dewane Hull and Geneva Hull. No kids at this time. This is also strong support that this Gordon is my grandfather, as my dad's middle name is Dewane; Old Dewante Hull also has a son named Archie. Here is the results from 1910 census, 568 Adams Place Platteville; Dewane Hull 42 yrs. old; married 12 yrs; born in WI as parents; Teacher Geneva Hull; 32 yrs old; married 12 yrs.; born in WI (parents IL and WI); Jessie Hull (daughter); 17 years old (from prior marriage to Susan Butson); single, in school Velma Hull (daughter); 11 yrs old in school Archie Hull; 9 yrs old Ruth Hull; born in Aug 1909 In 1920, West Cedar: Dewane Hull Geneva Hull Velma Hull- 21 yrs old, single Archie Hull; 19 yrs old, single Ruth Hull; 11 yrs old In 1930, 548 Cedar Street: Dewane Smith, 62 yrs old Geneva Hull. 52 GORDON SMITH, grandson, age 9....born in WI, Father "???", mother born in WI So it appears that Gordon Smith's parents were a daughter Hull, and an unknown Smith. Louis? Velma? Jessie? Any resources I can further check? thanks, Mark Smith
