Nancy,
Thank you so very much for replying to my message!Is your Pearl Norton the same as the one I found in the following censuses posted below?Someone posted information on James Abda and Pearl Norton White on the internet, but there was a discrepancy in the date of birth of Pearl (July 1883) in the records I found at the following website:http://lookingbackwards.net/genealogy/descend.php?personID=I126&tree=jtmhttp://lookingbackwards.net/genealogy/descend.php?personID=I126&tree=jtm
"Our" Pearl was born in 1886, looks like Jan or Jun in the 1900 census, and the 1910 census seems to corroborate her year of birth.The 1920 one is unclear.I need the 1930 one.
Anyway, this is what I found at the above website:
