Jean Why would Melissa Caroline use a different name? Maybe she went by Caroline but I have read that they were instructed to give their first name on census? Could it be that simple? Yes if William A. Wiles is your great great grandfather then John would be your ggg uncle. I want to go back and look at the image of the 1910 census for Molissie and see if that W for widow didn't look a little different that others on the page. Maybe she is divorced. Don't be too surprised. I have divorce papers from 1853 for one of my gggg grandmothers. It happened back then. We just didn't talk about it <grin> Marcia
