She signed her name as Wallie and that is what everyone knew her by. I always thought Grampa’s middle name was Augustus.  The copy of Dad’s birth certificate lists only a male Matthews born 4-4-1920.  Place of birth was 307 2nd Ave Manhattan.  His parents lived at 238 7 Ave. Astoria, Long Island, New York.  There is a note in Gramma’s handwriting that says the birth certificate was issued before they named him Charles and that is why his birth certificate only lists Matthews as the name.  This note was written 8/16/1937.  You’ll need to change Arthur from Gampa’s name or else Arthur is someone else.  Being the great detective you are, I am sure you will find out the facts.</div> <div>  </div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> Caryl</div> <div> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div> <div> Now, to look for Walborg Holm!</div> <div> Caryl said she had siblings of Ida, Bob, and Ed - and here they are in the 1930 census!</div> <div> New York > Queens > Queens (Districts 1-250) > District 212 > 20</div> <div> Census page date is April 9, 1930</div> <div> <IMG SRC="11c6d730.jpg" border=0 width="877" height="371" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="11d71860.jpg" border=0 width="881" height="134" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> 1910 Census:</div> <div> New York > Queens > Queens Ward 1 > District 1159 > 18</div> <div> <B>Walborg is listed as "S" for "Son" </B> </div> <div> <IMG SRC="11e89220.jpg" border=0 width="905" height="290" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="11f86a30.jpg" border=0 width="902" height="163" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> I do not find John Holm in the 1900 census.</div> <div> ----------------------------------------------</div> </td> </tr></table></body>
