I started several years ago and I am still hitting lots of brick walls. I know that my Blackshire had 3 children for sure that were delivered by a mid-wife all in LA. Time frame is 1890-1896 to the best of my knowledge. The only one I am for sure on is 1890. I was told by one of the grandchild they thought that my Annie Blackshire might have some Indian in her but I am unable to prove it. Any help would be appreciated.
