Från Census 1900 framgår att Charles är född i juni 1869 och att han bott 11 år i USA (trots det så står det immigration 1881, vilket torde vara en felskrivning)
Hustrun Hilda är född 1874 , jag har svårt att läsa vilken månad, kan vara juli. Även hon har bott 11 år i USA. De har varit gifta i 4 år.
 
Dottern Mabel är född 1896, kanske juli och Stella 1899, förmodligen mars

Mats!
Helt fantastiskt! Allt detta stämmer ju mycket bra! Att det kan ändra sig så från de olika Census årtalen.
Jag tänker då på Hur Swenson blir Swanon och hur Hilda (vilket jag inte visste) blir Hilder. osv.
 Hjärtligt tack för dessa uppgifter. Jag har försökt i många år, men jag klarar bara inte avet!

Än en gång Tack!}

Vi tar detta från 1930 också.
Det har tillkommit en svärson och ett barnbarn.  Svärsonen kommer från Tyskland och immigrerade 1898.  Det ser ut som Chas och Fred arbetar på samma ställem, den ena som inspector och den andra som foreman. Jag är lite fundersam på Mabel's ålder, den stämmer inte riktigt.

Many thanks to You, Laura for your kind help!
