<font face="georgia,serif">I'm not Chris, but Ralph William Perry was my grandfather, and my father was Ralph William Perry, Jr. Both would have been shown in the 1930 and 1940 censuses. In the FamilySearch version I looked at the names had been transposed, i.e., William Ralph Perry. <br>

Chris, my suggestion to look at the image would let you know if
it was the census enumerator who made the mistakes rather than the
indexers or arbitrator. You could also see who they talked to in
getting the info.<br>
<br>
When I looked on Ancestry.com there was a Ralph William Perry who
was in the 1930 census in Hood River area, is that your ancestor?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">Thanks.
Using FamilySearch worked for me. Interesting though, is
that when I checked my family all the birth years were off
by one year and the given/middle names were switched, e.g.,
my grandfather was Ralph William Perry but the web site
showed William Ralph Perry.<br>
