LeRoy Tanner Pictures and Documents

Since the blog has had a military theme recently, here are some additional documents about LeRoy Parkinson Tanner, including some from his service in the First World War, and a picture.

This picture is called "Tanner Family with Leroy holding Wallace." Except for those two named (the man standing near the right of the photo with a small boy in his arms) I don't know the identities of any of the others. I suppose they're Roy's brothers or sisters and other relatives in Joseph City, Arizona.

This is an Enlistment Record with corrections. LeRoy's military service has been mentioned previously here (Veteran's Day; a collection of his American Legion cards) and here (LeRoy Parkinson Tanner Military Service).

A Snapshot of History: My Grandparents in the 1940 Census

The 1940 Census was released recently and quickly indexed. It is available at FamilySearch.org (free) and Ancestry.com (for a fee).

Here are the United States 1940 Census records for my four grandparents. They were all still single and living at home in 1940.
