    My contact at the Butte Silver Bow Archives is attempting to corellate newspaper items on this particular mine site. This will take time. Another B-g member in the US is also reviewing obit.'s from the area around that time

    P.S. That 1930 census sure looks interesting
    That 1930 census looks interesting to me too, as it appears it captures the birth of my Grandfather, James Norman.
