My family history includes a William Albert SWAN.
Going backwards from 1930 Census, William, born in NY, lived in Crawford, NY (Ulster County) with wife, Catherine (KRAUS)(age 55), born in NY, and their 4 year old granddaughter, Catherine SMITH. They were ages 23/24 respectively when married first. [Katherine often had spelling variations, but was also known as Katie, Kate and Catherine.] Williams parents were both born in New York; Katherine's parents were both born in Germany. Her father was KRAUS, mother HEBLECH.
In 1920 William and wife Catherine (KRAUS) appear with 5 children; William A (b ca 1900, age 20 in the 1920 Census), Kathleen (born ca.1902, now 18), Jessie (b 1903 - my gmother- then 16), Albert, (b 1905 - then 14), and Harry (b 1907 then 12) [Harry's middle name according to SS Application was SHAW, his father's mother's maiden name] .
In 1910, William is Head of Household with his family that was the same as above PLUS little Francis who was 4 months old (and subsequently died before the 1920 census).
The family seems to drop off the map between 1880 and 1910!
They were solid Bronx residents.
Can anyone make a connection or help me with this?
Note: In the 1880 Federal Census, Albert SWAN and wife Mary SHAW are noted in the Bronx. They have son William who is called William Jun, son Henry S (believed to be Henry SHAW SWAN), and Susan. Family information shows these members are part of the family, but there is only speculation at this time which will connect them.
Am willing to share all details.
THANKS SO MUCH!
