Seeking information on the family of William Z. Chambliss WHO WAS born about 1912 in
Mississippi.
He appears on the 1930 US Census for Jefferson County, Alabama as an inmate in the Alabama
Boy's Industrial School. This appears to have been some sort of juvenile reform
school. This type of facility could also have orphans, or children whose parents can no
longer care for them. All the "inmates" are between the ages of 11-18 yrs and
their race is shown as white. The census shows Florida as the birth place of both his
parents. William is listed as being 18 years of age and born in Mississippi.
Would like to identify his parents, siblings, wife, children and grandchildren.
Thank you so much, Karen Chambliss, California
