[or-roots] Surname: Mourer

[Barbara Wulf]

The 1930 Census is indexed by Ancestry.  I checked for Delores and found
them in Reno.  The family is the only Mourer family that shows up on the
index in Nevada.  I went on to look at the original image.  I did not
translate it the same as the indexer.  It looks to me that Harry was 45 and
married for the first time at 34.  Dorris is 34 and married for the first
time at 23.  Harry is born in Kansas and both his parents in Pennsylvania.
Dorris was born in Oregon as were both of her parents.  Delores was born in
Texas.  At the end of the line it says that Harry is a brick mason working
on houses.  Also Harry is a veteran and served in the WW. [At that time
there was only one World War.]  If you do not have access to census images
on line they can be ordered through your local library on inter library
loan.  [Either the local public library or the local family history center.]
