Here is the family in the 1930 census in Potter County Texas

Source Citation: Year: 1930; Census Place: Amarillo, Potter, Texas; Roll: 2384; Page: 8A; Enumeration District: 16; Image: 801!.0!.

Household Members: Name Age
Charley Lucero 50 Born in New Mexico Profession Hotel Dishwasher
Nick Lucero 38 Born in New Mexico
Bill A Lucero 18 Born in New Mexico Profession Bus Boy in Hotel
Ida Lucero 17 Born in New Mexico

Lucina B Lucero 6 Born in Kansas
Edd Lucero 4 11/12 Born in New Mexico
Ina Lucero 18 Born in New Mexico relationship Niece
Marge A Lucero 7/12 Born in Texas
From this census we also learn that Charley was 28 when he got married and Nicolaza was only 16!. Another interesting thing is that Lucina was born in Kansas!.

WHICH brings us to the 1920 census!. They were in fact in Kansas!. The name is mis indexed as Lucus, but if you look at the actual census page, you will see that it is Lucero!.

Source Citation: Year: 1920;Census Place: Liberal, Seward, Kansas; Roll: T625_550; Page: 18A; Enumeration District: 225; Image: 640!.

Household Members: Name Age
Carlos Lucus 31
Nicholas Lucus 29
Bill Lucus 8
Sorallas Lucus 7
Laura Lucus 3 4/12
Julian Lucus 3/12

They were living near some people with the last name Valverde (all from New Mexico) which makes me wonder if they were relation!. Carlos was working as a sweeper!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
