Also since my father landed there in the 30's & my mother in the 40's I thought it would be appropriate. I have been interested to see that indeed most of the people I have indexed in CA were not born there. They indeed reflect the westward migration of the error and usually those in a single batch came from many different states. They were also very likely not to have lived in the same place in 1935. In contrast, those I've indexed in NY, MA and PA frequently lived in the same place or same house in 1935. Furthermore, they were usually born in that state.
