Hi Tiffany -- I'm the board and list admin for Calhoun, so yes, I do some lookups when
I have time. The word is "genealogy" by the way. :-)
I'm not finding your grandmother in the 1930 Census with the name you give. There is
one 6-year-old in Ancestry's index:
1930 United States Federal Census

Age: 6
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1924

I suggest finding more out about your grandmother, such as what school she attended, the
houses she might have live lived in - you can look those up in old City Directories.
There are lots of resources for New York City, but you need to place her there by more
than family stories.
