The record states that:
- The Izbickis lived at 17 Ward St, Worcester, Worcester Co., Massachusetts, USA on 01 April 1940, they were household 3 in order of visitation, they rented their home which was worth $1400, they lived in the same house on 01 April 1935, and they did not live on a farm
- Victoria Izbicki was head of household, was a white female, 60 years old, widowed, was not attending school, was born in Massachusetts, was working the week of March 24-30, worked 11 hours the week of March 24-30 as a housewife, and did not earn more than $50 from sources other than wages

The person who collected this information was not quite clear on the instructions . Instead of writing down the monthly rent, he wrote down the value of the house . Instead of indicating one person as head of household, he wrote “mother.” He indicated that Victoria worked for pay, but she did not . He also did not indicate who provided the information.
