Leopold Gartner/Gardner was my great grandfather. He
came to the US about 1875 from Austria/Hungry. Census reports show his growing family, his children as they left home, the death of his wife, and Leopold when he lived with his married daughter.
Census reports are a good resource to begin to build a family timeline. Add births, deaths and marriages and then discover where family stories fit in.

Colleen, I like the way you show the progression from the earliest Census to the latest Census you can find. For the missing NY 1915 info, have you looked at Family Search? Its transcriptions are sometimes different from Ancestry. Also Heritage Quest might have different transcriptions. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteMarian, thanks. I will check Family Search for the 1915 census.
