I do have Ancestry, and the other day I searched 1500 names in the index. Does anyone else have access to another data base where they might find the record? The reason I am interested in the 1920 Census is that I have read that immigrants of Germany may have been asked for a town or other regional name by the census taker. I don't know what part of Germany (Prussia) the family came from. The story my father told me a number of years ago was that, Uncle Edward, apparently unmarried, was living in Little Rock, AR. On a cattle buying trip he was found murdered in Bloomington, IL. I did find his name in the Illinois Statewide Death Index, in Bloomington, IL. Aug. 15, 1926. Edward Reckentin was born about 1865, and arrived with his parents in NewYork, on ship Deutschland, from Homburg, on 22 May, 1866. He is listed on the passenger list as being 9 months old. Census records for the family verify his approximate date of birth. I have not found him in any Census records as an adult. He was possibly living in Arkansas in 1920. Any help in locating Edward in the 1920 census is greatly appreciated' Dian
