Search for Joudel in the 1900 U.S. census! I found him -- with some difficulty. He's indexed as Judel H Gerber and is living in Hagerstown, Washington, Maryland. He's with his wife Bessie and 6 children, ages 3 months to 10 years old. His sister in law lives with them, likely his wife's sister, so anyone researching this family will have his wife's maiden name. He's 33 years old and his year of immigration is given as 1893, a pretty good fit with his citizenship papers. Get help finding the rest of his Naturalization Records
