A few weeks ago, I was at the Family History Center, using the center's account on Ancestry.com to search the 1930 census. Looking for great-granduncle Harry Greenberg, I not only found him, but also his mother Esther Levin, sister Jennie Greenberg, her husband, and son.
Before this, I had no idea who Jennie married or what her married surname was. On the census, it showed that her husband was Maurice A. Galitt born in 1900 and her son was Calvin Galitt born in 1925.
I was thinking this was all good and that I could search further with this information, but it turns out that Galitt is not exactly a common name. There are no Galitts on the Social Security Index and none on the Illinois Death Database.
Interestingly, on the Illinois Death Database are Jennie Gale and Maurice A. Gale, and on the SSDI is a Calvin Gale. So, maybe I'll send away for information on the Gales and rule them in or out.
