    Thanks for checking, Cynthia,
    and I shall get in touch with Carol.

    I forgot to type in the email
    one very important part, and
    that is that we don't have the
    1940 U.S. Census county boundaries
    map. If someone else does, I'd
    appreciate your taking a look
    at the CA and see if it
    throws any light
    on this matter of Kern
    County townships 1-17.
