I'm still having a look at another slim chance of a lead and will return to this when I know more.

The 1940 Census was taken on 1 April 1940. For privacy reasons, federal law required a 72-year wait for the census to be released.
Thus, someone arriving from Paris on 8 Apr 1940 should not be on this census.


To use FS to search US federal censuses (with images), I use a link from:

Thank you mgnv; that is really interesting.

I know that the writer of this account finally fled Austria in July 1939 and I am hoping that the people he is writing about would have left before war broke out.

I am still pursuing another angle on this and I will return to this thread when I know more.

It has just come to light that the writer of this account may be referring to a rather general family name [HAYEK] but that the people he mentions may have had the surname of JOKL/JOKEL/JOCKEL. If yes, the wife's first name was Nelly and the husband's first name either Noah or Alois.

Digits crossed!

Thank you for looking. I'm still on the trail of the original family name via this fascinating written account.

I'm really hoping that all will be revealed ............
