Hi all,

I have had great success on these boards with very knowledgeable and friendly help. Hoping I am as fortunate this time around :)

I found my Great Grandfather in the 1940 Census! Huge milestone! However, I need to find him in the 1930 census and I believe he was in the same hospital in 1930 that he was found to be in for 1940.

Emil Sorger
DOB: 19 Apr. abt. 1900
DOD: 28 Jul. 1941 -

1940 Census for Allegheny County Hospital for the Insane
ED# 2-102
Pennsylvania, Collier Twp. Allegheny County
Unincorporated Place "Woodville"

Also does anyone know what code XX09 under the residence section of the Census means?

Also, it says he was Married. I know he married my Great Grandmother in 1922 but by 1925 she is already "married" to another man and had another child in May of 1925. If your spouse was institutionalized could you remarry without a divorce? Trying to find if she actually remarried or if her and her new husband were NEVER married.

Thanks!
