Notes
General:
There are two David P. Sears in the 1930 census. One is living in Twp 4, Glenn Co., CA, age 68 born in Missouri and both parents born in Kentucky. His marital status is divorced and his occupation is farmer. The other is living in Willows, Glenn Co., CA and is 64 years old married at age 35. He was born in Missouri and both parents were born in Missouri. His occupation is working on railroad. He has a wife and two children , Nancy M. Sears born in Oregon age 54 married at age 25 and Homer H. Sears age 21 born California, Vivian G. Sears, age 17 born in California. The problem is that the first David was the right age at marriage according to his marriage certificate and he is the right age for the birth information I have on him. However, the wife and children match the information I received from Liz Stinger with the second David. 49 52
