I am trying to verify the family of Wm S Tillison and Martha A Tillison. They were in Etowah County from 1870-1920. In 1870 Margaret Magee is living with them. I am trying to prove/disprove that Martha Tillison was a McGehee/Magee. If she were a McGehee, this would prove to be my family. After the 1920 census, I can no longer locate Martha Tillison and assume she has passed away. I felt I may be able to locate her death certificate in hopes that it would list her parents' names. In the 1920 time frame, would I write the county or the state? I appreciate any assistance and direction.

Hello Everyone: Those of you who are working on your lines back to your 1600s American Ancestors will find the 1600s Ancestors Data Base to be of great help. I have recently posted several hundred new Ancestors to the Data Base bringing the total to over 29,000 entries both men and women. Also listed are several National Societies who have proven many of the Ancestors you will find here. There are also a few new Reference Works that contain many more lines. The entries are coded to indicate to which Society or Reference Work has at least one of their proven lines. Several of the National Societies have over 20 different lines from a single Ancestor. WHEN YOU ENTER THE 1600s ANCESTORS DATA BASE be sure to look at the top of each data page for the link that takes you to the "Data Base Information Page". There you will find the list of codes and how to use them. This is MUST reading if you are to understand the Data Base and how to use it. We are constantly updating the Data Base with Additional Ancestors and references as time permits. More work has been devoted to updating listings of the female Ancestors by going back and including marriage dates. This takes much time and we still have a lot of work to do there. You will find the 1600s Ancestor Data Base at; http://www.firstfamilies.org/db/ For those of you who are AOL members you may have trouble connecting to many pages that may come up with a message such as "Page Does Not Exist" and you should cure that by using your browser feature of Copy and Paste the URL to your browser and pressing your enter key. Everyone has free access to the Data Base and to all our posted pages. Enjoy and Happy Hunting Ryan Jackson Data Base Manager America's First Families

Can anyone help me find Susan Golden Dover Nail on the 1910-1920-1930 census? She was born about March, 1886 & appears on the 1900 census in her father's household (Harmon Dover) There is a marriage license recorded in the courthouse date 5-21-1904 for Susie Dover and John Nail. Susie's cousin, J.M. Collins signed the bond. This license was not executed. There is a license for 7-21-1904 for Susan Golden Dover and John Nail. Her brother-in-law, M.A. (Mason) Box signed the bond. R.W. Bryan performed the marriage. I find nothing on this couple after this. Anyone have any ideas? Terry Jackson
