NOTE - Missing from the index is a definitive record for the husband,Frank, who presumably would have been enumerated on Card Number 1 if his wife was number 2 and son number 3. The next sequential record might possibly be him if his initials of "F. G." were misread as "F. S." and his age should have been 38 instead of 40.
