I have been searching for my grandmother’s family in the 1940 census since it was released on Monday. I’m about to focus on a different line for a while, though. Tracking Grandmother’s family is a little difficult because they seemed to move a lot.
I remembered that my grandmother worked at the bomb factory in Milan, Gibson County, Tennessee at one point, so I was hoping to find her there (she also married her first husband in Gibson County in 1940). I still haven’t found her, but I did find another one of her sisters!
Maggie Nell Craft married Woodrow Phillips. In 1940 they were living just outside of Milan in Gibson County, Tennessee.
