I had to laugh when I saw the first pages I looked at - as though they used the thickest
sharpie they could find!

My Mom is from a VERY small town in PA. I cannot find her in the 1940 census. Mom is still
alive. She knows where she was living in 1940. But she, and her sisters, and her mother, are missing.
I'm wondering if someone missed part of the street she lived on, or if Ancestry.com missed
some pages of the town's census. AAAAARRRRGGGG.

It NEVER ends on her part of the family tree! LOL?
