STATE CENSUS
1925
The 1925 State Census
lists everyone’s mother and father names. I am only going to list Putnam and
Putman families. But if you look it up you can find out who various
Putnam/Putman gals married, and it gives their parents full names. This is a
great way to get wife’s maiden name. Also great in trying to figure who the
Putnam/Putman guy is as it gives his parents and where they were from.
