I’m not related to any member of this family.

1940 is the last available census at this time.

WHO did the children marry??
Need 1st names + DOB's + birthplaces.



ARK Vital Records -
ARK required birth & death registrations? 1914
When did ARK begin to issue birth & death certificates?? 1914

Peter & Cynthia would be slaves since they were born before the CW.

The term "AA" is not used in the census records since it was invented abt the 1980's.
This family will be recorded as black, negro or mulatto.
