Subject: MOCULAK, STANLEY U.S. Navy vs. Census

Hi List,

I am confussed about this & hoping someone can offer some reason as to why.

I have a distant relation STANLEY J. MOCULAK fom NJ. In the 1920 Census he appears in the U.S. Naval Operating Base in Norfolk, Virginia.
.............
First: he gives his age as 22, instead of 19/20 (born 10/28/1901)

Second: states he was born in NJ (was born in Poland)

Third: states parents were born in Penn. (they both were born in Russia, Republic of Poland - states so in Death Cert. too)

Fourth: I do have a picture of him in the Navy that he sent my great grandparents. So I do know he was in the Navy & this was confirmed by a relation that knows some things about my great grandparents + children.

Fifth: his Death Certificates states he was never in the Armed Service (which I know for a fact that he was in the Navy)
..............
Didn't the Navy do any checking prior to having men in the service?

Is there anyplace I can check this out?

I know it would not be a child of his.

Thanks for any suggestions and/or help.

Jan
