8. Have you checked the 1930 Census for either DuBois or Pittsburgh?

BTW, my folks were from near the DuBois area. There was a lot of migration from that area to Erie, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland in the late 30's and early 40's. My Dad's family moved to Erie in the early 40's.

Fortunately, in the next 2-4 months, we should have the census indexed, so that you can search by name!
