Author: Kent_McMahan Surnames: Collins, Adams Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.alabama.counties.cherokee/2697/mb.ashx Message Board Post: An ADAMS researcher wrote of first finding George & Emma Lynn Collins with their 4 children (all white) in a Cheorkee Co., Centre, AL, U.S. Census with Parris Adams (Mulatto). George & Parris were listed as natives of South Carolina. Unfortunately, the researcher gave NO year for that census finding. I spent some time searching the Ancestry.com U.S. Census database at a local library but failed to find the above listing. I'm not familiar with tips for efficiently searching this database. I would greatly appreciate the help of a more experienced researcher in locating the page # and household/family # for the above listing. I'm sure that the census with that family is BEFORE 1880. Thanks in advance for any and all help..............Kent Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
