About this time last year I had the opportunity to visit Humboldt, Iowa where I believed Virginia Jacobson might be buried. I did not find her there. With the publication and indexing of the 1940 Federal Census, I have found a tiny little bit of information that for now is another brick wall. In 1940, Virginia had a granddaughter named Monaca (sic) Jacobson living with her and my great grandfather. Monaca was 9 years old at the time and is listed as being born in Michigan. Not much information but it is something.

Guess this is another brick wall that will have to rest for a while. Seems that just when you least expect it, a family member pops up with information so maybe that will be the case here.
