The Palm family was at the bottom of page 5B for enumeration district 127 for Paxtang Boro in
Swatara Township in Dauphin County, PA. My mother was listed at the top of the
following page in the census. The "M" was for Mary. She was named Mary Louise. 3639 is the number in the upper left of this census
section. It was their house number on Brisban Street. The census was taken prior
to January 31st because my Uncle Sam would have been 11 on that date. There does
seem to be an error regarding my Uncle Hank's age because he was born in October
1903 according to the Rohrbach Genealogy book so his age should have been 16 in January 1920. The "I" for grandmom and Aunt Sarah stood for Isabel. The "M" for granddad and Uncle Sam stood for Moyer. The "W" was William for Uncle Henry.
On September 2, 2003 I discovered these pages on the Internet through Ancestry.com.
No one ever told me that my Uncle Sam was a Junior to my Granddad Palm. Never
knew he had a middle initial until today!
If you pause your cursor on the census column headings, I have noted what they contain.

my mother was just 5 years old.
