I can't find a single Stralliff in the 1930 census, in Illinois or anywhere else.
There are some Donars in Kankakee, Kankakee Co - might those be the ones you are
interested in? All of the others are in Cook Co. There are over 1300 Hoovers -- a county
is needed to narrow those down. 350 Frank Andersons -- same problem.
I hope this helps,
