Would like to hear from folks who have marriage records from around 1901-1910. I'd like to order a record from 1907 but I'm interested in bride & groom's birthplace and parents. If the records only give parties' names and date of marriage they would be of no use. Thanks

Benjamin Lucus, ae69, his wife Lyddia [sic], ae44 and 2 children appear in the 1900 U.S. census for Humphrey Township, Cattaraugus Co, NY. Lidda [sic] S Lucas, widow, ae54, appears in the 1910 U.S. census for Sardinia, Erie County, NY living with her daughter and son-in-law. Can someone assist me in determining when and where Benjamin Lucas / Lucus died. Did he move to Erie County prior to his death? A reliable source has reviewed the 1905 NY state census for Cattaraugus Co and came up empty. He is reportedly not buried in Humphrey. Thank you Alex

Depending on how far away you are searching from, you could try :- -family graves (if any known) -spouses who might also have since died, an obituary could refer back to the first death -records of wills etc. which IMU will in the USA be the same as elsewhere, being associated with the last residence - some people avoid the usual set of records by dying on holiday or while doing something else away from home. They avoid their local death records but the disposal of their estate does not generally avoid the local court records. -local newspaper records - the availability is rather random and even 1986 is still a bit prehistoric for many computerised indexes but card indexes could exist in local history libraries. -old telephone directories, mainly to give a date to assist searching other records. Don't forgot the delay between someone disappearing from the local system and the next up-to-date edition. Is there a good reason to suspect that they have managed to die anonymously or is it more likely that they have not died where they had been settled ? One common way of achieving the latter is simply by going to live with children in another area.

Please, let us help you with your search, which I see you have been asking the same question for several months, without finding anything about your lost soul. As an introduction, I'm a former genealogy librarian with a state historical society, and I've worked with many database systems in various libraries and on the internet, and pride myself in being able to locate information others have been unable to find. So again, if you could supply the following information, either I or some other resident of this group can help you with your search. We need to know the following information about your lost person: Name Birthplace Birthdate Residences, especially the last known one. Occupation(s) Marital status Parents names Siblings
