In 1930 census only two siblings of the BROOKS family are found, Monroe and Mary. As indicated, I am new at doing family research how will the 1930 census information help in finding the Robert BROOKS family of Perry County, AL before 1880? I found some information on Sarah BROOKS, wife in the 1900 census, living alone with four grand children; nothing on Robert so I assume he probably died some time between 1880 and 1900. I appreciate your help.
