Could anyone point me in the right direction to find post 1930 information on the descendants of James Walton of Salem Oregon.

Hello Jillian,

The latest Census is 1930 so it is more difficult trying to find information after that date.  There is the SSDI  http://ssdi.rootsweb.ancestry.com/

If you would like to give us some names and dates we can have a look for you  ;)

Regards
Sandra

There might be something here that can help you - http://www.deathindexes.com/oregon/index.html  Getting a date of death for him might lead to an obituary that includes survivors.

Thanks for your replies. I have managed to find the death of William S Walton b 1884 but unfortunately can't find an obituary so no further information than his wife was Harriett, which I knew anyway!

Perhaps if you give us the information that you have on William & Harriet, we can find something for you.

Have we got the correct family ? You are looking for information on descendants post 1930 - so presume you have details prior to that.

Would brother Leo A Walton have married Frieda J A Koch about 1919. (Born 1891, his age at first marriage was 28 years) ?  Had 2 children by the 1930 Census - a son born in Virginia and Daughter in Ohio ?
