Paul and Zenaide Charron in the 1940 United States Federal Census

Posted on April 2, 2012 by Steve

With today’s release of the 1940 United States Federal Census, I couldn’t resist visiting Ancestry.com to see if I could find anyone in my family tree .  I almost succeeded .  Instead of my own relatives, I found the parents of my Godmother, Alice Charron Danko .  Alice’s parents were Paul Charron and Zenaide Patenaude Charron who lived at 2 Broadway in Cohoes, Albany Co., New York for most of their lives .  Sure enough, that’s where they were in 1940 .  To find the correct enumeration district (ED), I entered the 1930 ED (1-118) on Steve Morse’s One-Step Website and found that the enumeration district in 1940 was 1-32.
