Seeking proof that Iola May Frailey-Olsen lived in Utah

Dear Ms. McMasters,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and located the 1910, 1920 & 1930 Population Census. Currently, there are no digital images available for Utah. For access to and copies of the microfilm versions of the census, please contact the National Archives at Washington, DC (RDT1) via email at archives1reference@nara.gov.

As part of our ongoing commitment to preserve our records, the National Archives has entered into partnerships with Ancestry, Fold3, FamilySearch, and Heritage Quest to digitize some of NARA's holdings. The 1910, 1920 & 1930 census records are now available in digital form and can be viewed online via ancestry.com and FamilySearch.org. There may be a fee for this service. Or you may view these records online at one NARA's facilities for free via ALIC. For the nearest NARA location, please consult our web page at https://www.archives.gov/locations/.

We also suggest that you check the Utah Division of Archives and Records Service and the Washington County for records that may pertain to your grandmother.

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

Are you perhaps trying to document a "downwinder" case? I may be making an assumption based on the years and location. There are some additional strategies that might work better for the situation.

In any case, some resources I'd suggest would be local newspapers (these years are not online at https://digitalnewspapers.org/ but keep site in mind for Utah research), land or property records, tax records, and previous census years if relevant. All of those will depend on her age as I can't tell from your question if she's a child or adult in the 1950s.
