George Villalba on the 1920 US Census

.
The above image, although not very clear here, is the 1920 US Census for San Francisco. The top two lines are the details for Robert and George Villalba. The bottom line of the previous page [not shown] lists an Alfred Villalba also living at the same place. I'm not sure if Alfred is a sibling of George's or not, but I will list his information here just in case.
.
Robert, Alfred and George were lodging in a house, along with several other men from San Salvador. I have written down the information for the other Salvadoreans in the house, and will research them to see if they are related or friends of the family [which can sometimes turn out to be distant relatives]. Sometimes if you can't find your family, you can trace the neighbors or close friends to find them!
.
I'll comment on what this census information means in relation to our genealogy in the next blog.

Hi

I came across your blog and saw my name after doing an ego-searching. My name is also George Villalba, with the middle name alexander. I'm spanish descendent. My father is jorge villalba from paraguay. I dont know if you know this but there's a city in spain name Villalba. I live around that area from 88-95( I was 9 years old at that time) Im now 34. Anyway, I also noticed arts runs in the veins of the villalbas. I'm artist, writer and filmmaker living in utah.

here is my site www.georgeavillalba.blogspot.com

sincerely
george
