1 April 1930Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaFrank Mrak appeared on the census of 1 April 1930 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; barge captain.26
8 April 1930Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaHe appeared on the census of 8 April 1930 in the household of Anton Mahnich and Antonia Pecuh at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; I can't be sure that this Frank RAK is Frank MRAK. Some of the evidence fits, especially that he is listed as immigrating in 1922, the fact that he is married with no wife present in the household and first married at age 20. His age is hard to discern on the copy.27
