1940 U.S. Census: Liebross Family

O.K. time's getting short for the Monday, April 2, 2012 release of the 1940 U.S. Census and I'm counting down. Time to get cracking on those Enumeration Districts I've not yet located.

In a prior post and one subsequent post to that, I discussed my maternal grandparents' home at 31 Colin Place, Brooklyn, NY.  They owned the two family home starting in 1929 and remained there through my grandmother's death in 1961. During part of their time there my grandmother's Liebross family (her father and mother, her two sisters, Celia and Rose, and her youngest brother, Irving) lived upstairs. Irving likely moved out 0f 31 Colin Place by 2 January 1944 when he married Lillian Ables. On his brother Jerry's 1948 death certificate, Irving was living at 919 Park Place, Brooklyn.
