Using the obituary database in the Monroe County Library, Find-A-Grave, 1930 & 1940 censuses, the Social Security Deaths Index, the database of marriages in MyHeritage.com, and Ancestry.com, I have updated the data for many people. 9 people who were pictured in the '40 Jordannus were added to the database for this class. -- Dave Gray '65 |
