_______

1930 CA, Los Angeles Co, Gardena
Indexed as 'Cargo' but when I viewed the census film image it has Crego.
Crego, Floyd L. 48 bn MI/MI/NY
, Irma E. 39 bn CO/NC/NC
, Theodore B. 13 bn AZ
, Dorothea E. 12 bn WA
, Charles E. 10 bn CA
, Afton O. 73, father, widowed, bn MI/NY/OH
Floyd's occupation is, Inspector/Electrical..I realize that on the 1910 CA census Floyd Crego is listed as stepson with his mother & her 2nd husband but looks like Floyd's father is alive and well. I find Afton O. Crego on the 1920 MI, census and he is listed as widowed.

Found a tree that states Afton O. Crego is the s/o Martin Crego bn NY & Mahala (no maiden name given)bn OH.....this family group is in MI, Jackson Co from the 1860 census thru the 1880 census. You will ofcourse need to document this info for yourself. A good place to start is to order the 'original' social security application for both your Theodore & Floyd Lewis Crego. On this document they are asked their fathers name & mother name. This would really help you document this family group.

Hope this helps
Marsha
