Be creative!

I love the census records, however, they can be pretty #@$#& frustrating when I can't find who I'm looking for in them.  Today I was reminded of being creative with names when looking.  The name alluding me was Jurmann.  I can find the family in the 1910 and 1930 census.  Where are they in the 1920? 

It hit me. 

The last name sounds like German.

I tried German and there they are!  I hope that works for the 1940 census, too!
