Dear Ms. Talcott,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and located the Population Schedules for the 1930 Census in the Records of the Bureau of the Census (Record Group 29) that indicates that Martin Talcott is residing in household of Irving Lundell, Brooklyn (Districts 1751-1953), Kings, New York, United States; citing enumeration district (ED) ED 1877, sheet 17B, line 55, family 368; listed as married to Harriet Talcott. The schedules for New York have not been digitized. For access to the non-digitized schedules, please contact the National Archives at Washington, DC - Textual Reference (RDT1) via email at archives1reference@nara.gov.

We also located the Population Schedules for the 1940 Census in Record Group 29 that contains the file unit New York - Kings County which includes the sheets for ED 24-225. Harriet [Talcott] is listed on Image 5 but with no children. The schedules have been digitized and are available using the Catalog.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and pursuant to guidance received from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), NARA has adjusted its normal operations to balance the need of completing its mission-critical work while also adhering to the recommended social distancing for the safety of NARA staff. As a result of this re-prioritization of activities, you may experience a delay in receiving an initial acknowledgement as well as a substantive response to your reference request from RDT1. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your understanding and patience.

For information about the U.S. Census, see the Census Bureau technical documentation and questionnaires as well as NARA’s page on Census Records.

You may wish to search Ancestry.com or FamilySearch.org for the U.S. Census. There may be a fee for using Ancestry. Instead, please check for access at your local library as many library systems subscribe to these sites, making them free for their patrons.

In addition, we suggest that you contact the Municipal Archives to request a marriage license search for Martin & Harriett Talcott.  The Municipal Archives maintains historical birth, death and marriage records for the five boroughs of New York City (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten Island).

We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your family research!
