(WI), he got his original social security card in Illinois. Using that information about him, I tracked him down in the 1930 U.S. census for you and it gives you more information about him. In 1930 there were only 2 Louis Horbals living in the U.S. Only one was born at the time of your Louis. Here's the information on your Louis Horbal, then: 1930 U.S. Census ~ Chicago, Cook Co., IL: household: HORBAL, Louis -- head of house, age 25, born Germany, to U.S. in 1915, naturalized citizen, married at age 24, occupation: punch press, wire factory, veteran: WWI, parents born Germany. HORBAL, Fannie -- wife, age 23, born Germany, to U.S. in 1926, alien, married at age 22, parents born Germany. Hope that information on him helps you out, Dolores. Best ~ Kathe C.
