<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 12021153, member: 33"][USER=4438]@Sedona[/USER] , if it's possible that your great-grandmother was in the US in 1900, she might be found in the census records for that year. Have you tried searching that yet? I was just playing around with it... I didn't know her name, and was guessing birth date range. There were hundreds of females born in Hungary between 1875-1885 in Passaic, New Jersey that year. Many of them were wives of the head of household, so they could be eliminated. The best would be to narrow down by name. Also, it's possible she didn't actually live in Passaic, but in a nearby town.</p><p><br /></p><p>One good thing about the 1900 U.S. Census was that it had a place for people to state their month and year of birth. Also would show others in the household where she was living.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
