<font face="georgia,serif">Thanks for your response. In my case, my grandfather, Ralph William, Sr., went by the name Ralph, while my father, Ralph William, Jr., went by Bill. And BTW, due to passage of the years I'm now the oldest member of my family. <s><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 <a href="http://Ancestry.com" target="_blank">Ancestry.com</a> there was a Ralph William Perry who
was in the 1930 census in Hood River area, is that your ancestor?<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>
