    1930 Census, Pennsylvania
    No census record found for Chester Miller and family for 1930.  Since the 
    census was started on April 1, the area that they were living in had 
    census information taken around April 5, and Wilma and William were born 
    on April 5, 1930, it's assumed that they were unreachable by the census 
    taker at the time.
