The family in question would be naturalised Americans from, probably, Vienna.

That's the only Hayek I can see in Boston.

There's a Syrian family called Hayeck, in Worcester, Mass, in 1940, if that's any use!

Similar names in Boston in 1940 are Hask, Hoeck, Heek, Hakes, Hack, Hanck.

Can you give us any forenames?

Hello ErikaH! Nice to hear from you.

Well, the surname is HAYEK and I would make a guess that the age/s for the family would range from c.30 to c.60'ish. I don't have any first names to go on which is the frustrating thing.

I am transcribing a family document of real importance to us. It is a travel log written in 1950 of a visit to the East Coast of America.

Many familiar surnames are recorded throughout. Suddenly one pops up while the writer is in Boston, Mass.

I just cannot work out how to search this census and, in the past, some kind GR soul has been able to do this for me and find the surname I was looking for.

PLEASE is there someone who can help me with this really important search?

Thank you.
