5. I'm flabbergasted!

Apr 2012

I watched the video, got the Enumeration District numbers for the town I thought my mother's parents were living in at the time, and Bingo! On page 26 of the first ED I found my grandparents and my mother's sister who was still living at home. I have no idea where Mom was living at the time, nor do I know where my Dad was then living -- they weren't married yet, and wouldn't be for almost two years.

Maybe I can find my paternal grandmother -- paternal grandfather died in 1938.

Added on edit:

And I found my father! He was still living at home, as was his next older brother.
