The only 1930 Census I have found was for Carl A. Griswold
living in Philadelphia, PA. He was 25 and working as an
"attendant" at the U. S. Veteran's Bureau Hospital. His
birth place (as well as that of his mother) is listed as North
Carolina, but his father's birth place is listed as Texas.
If this is our Carl Albert Griswold, I'm not sure why his
father's birth is not listed as North Carolina. |
