Rick:

Thank you! I have been searching for awhile now and you are the first to break through that brick wall.

I noticed from the link you gave that St. Joseph's moved north of Columbus in 1931 so the 1930 census was the last in Columbus itself. In 1930 there were only about 26 children, all males, listed at the Orphan's home on East Main Street and several "officers", all female, most from Germany. My husband's father and uncle (both deceased) were two of the "orphans" in 1930.

I look forward to hearing what you find out from Josephinum's Archivist.

Again, thank you so very much!
