More BTTM Project Discoveries! :)

Discovered more descendants of Benjamin Thomas Trotter Mitchell that I had somehow overlooked.  I only had the names of the children of Jesse Everett Lawson and Creabell Mitchell.  I even discovered that one of them, Connie Zeller Wolf, was on Facebook and we had a mutual friend of Tanner Michaelis, my cousin Tammera's son.  Apparently, he and Connie's son are best friends -- which makes them 4th cousins on the Mitchell side.

1940 US Census Released

Today, the 1940 US Census was released for public use!

Sadly, the indexing is just beginning on this project, so you must know the city and street that your ancestor lived on to research in it.

Currently, I am browsing for my grandparents, Charlie Richard Mitchell and Aphrodel Wilcox Perkins, who were enumerated on the 1940 LDS Church Census on 23 Aug 1940 at 336 S Lincoln Ave in Pocatello, Idaho, and were married on 23 Aug 1940 in Montpelier, Idaho, where Aphrodel's family was living.

According to 1940census.archives.gov, they should be in ED 3-18 (with Bonneville W and Whitman W as cross-streets.)
